Barn floor

[GuyGadebois]

By climbing up the walls if you pay attention to the circulation of water (this is a legend except in adobe houses)

A legend? You talked about it just above!

No, I was talking about the concrete slabs that bring water vapor up the walls, it's a legend.

Yeah well the legend she screwed up walls for me. After months of rain in 2017/2018.

Wrong way, bad design somewhere, but not being on site I can't help ... Drainage is always welcome if we consider that there may be risks of water voices ... But it is necessary dig a little (I drew in the rock).
I would not put a floor on the ground even on a crawl space, without having first put a vapor barrier underneath, whatever it is.

Hello,

I would also recommend a raised floor, possibly insulated and below it is left in mini crawl space. If concrete is really what you want, then a layer of stone quarry type drain (1-2cm), above the geotextile and finally you pour concrete (possibly foam around for expansion)

Thank you for all your advice ! Not having the possibility of disbursing and state constrained by the height under ceiling the installation of drains or hedgehog seems to me very difficult.
I envisioned a simple slab of lime for its porosity (even if the soil is a little damp in places) and the ease of installation. But actually a slab of this type may not last very long.

I'm going to turn to the floor that seems to best suit my constraints.

Hi everybody,

I just allow myself to come and thank you because I needed an idea for the layout of the floor of an open barn and I did not know what to turn to, I think I will turn to a concrete paving or a coated.

Thanks again,
