Many people assume concrete work must stop in winter, but that’s not true when the job is done correctly.

Big shout out to Darrel Berlando of Drumheller, AB! We had the pleasure of prepping and pouring his 30×50 shop floor. From gravel compaction and vapor barrier installation to rebar placement and finishing touches, every step was handled with care to ensure a durable, long-lasting concrete surface.

Almost a year to the day after we poured the interior slab for his stunning barndominium, Trevor reached out again, this time to add the finishing touch: a clean, well-crafted concrete patio.

Well, I finally managed to sneak in some time to pour a little concrete for myself! We just finished over 2,000 sq. ft. of stamped and exposed concrete at my own home, a seamless slate patio with a barn board border and charcoal accents.

Many people think concrete work has to stop when the weather turns cold, but that’s not the case. With the right mix, proper site prep, and a few expert techniques, concrete slabs can be poured successfully even in late fall or winter.

Post frame construction, sometimes called pole building, uses large vertical posts anchored into the foundation to support the roof and walls.

If you’re investing in a post-frame building, whether it’s a shop, garage, or hobby space, the concrete slab floor is far more than just the “slab.”

A Strong Foundation in Pincher Creek

Big shout out to Jim Little for having us out to pour a brand-new floor for his impressive 5,400 sq. ft. shop in Pincher Creek, Alberta! This project was all about creating a functional and long-lasting space, and the details make all the difference.

Building a shop, barn, garage, or storage facility? Post frame construction stands out as one of the best options. So why choose post frame over traditional building methods? Here are a few reasons:

This hangar floor was built to last, with precise prep, expert pours, and a finish that reflects our commitment to quality. The broom-finished exterior apron adds a clean and durable transition up to the stunning diamond door, making the whole space not just functional, but visually impressive too.

Rocky View Concrete was proud to be part of this 30x50 post-frame workshop build near Bellevue, Alberta, in the heart of the Crowsnest Pass.

In post-frame construction, the concrete slab is more than just a floor — it’s a key component of the building’s performance and durability. A properly poured and cured concrete slab provides a stable, level surface that supports daily operations, resists wear, and contributes to the structural integrity of the entire building.

The Advantages of Post-Frame Construction with a Quality Concrete Floor

Post-frame buildings are a popular choice in Alberta for their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and speed of construction. With large, widely spaced posts supporting the structure, you get wide, open interior spaces perfect for shops, barns, garages, and commercial use.

We’re proud to share this recently completed concrete shop floor, built for a stunning 60x80 post-frame building near Gull Lake, Alberta.

Check out this unique project in Kamloops, BC: a 46x80 post-frame floor custom-designed for an equine rehabilitation facility. We worked closely with the client to create a concrete pit for an aqua tread system for horses, along with multiple Watts floor drains to ensure easy wash-down and cleanliness throughout the space.
