Hi guys-Getting ready to put in an apron on the cold side of my shed.
I have the doors sliding on the inside so looking to make something that they will use a as a guide and also need something that track machines won't tear up. What have you guys done in this area w/angle iron and rebar? Please send pictures before and after the pour. Thanks Terry This is the door opening I am wanting to put an concrete apron in. ![]() Edited by nowaktj - 12 Apr 2019 at 11:35am |

My barn has a 2x2 angle iron in the floor. the top is flat with the floor and the vertical is on the outside edge going down to my apron. there is just a piece of vertical rebar on both outside door edges. when you close the door the bottom edge sits up againgts the angle iron and the vertical rebar keeps it from flying out away from the walls. once its closed I have to latch the inside edge latches to keep the door tight against the walls. that 2X2 edge on the floor strangthengs the edge I push snow out with a 1 ton plow truck and heavy blade and i havent hurt it yet it was put in in 1957. the 2' drop to the apron is negosiable buy just about everything.

Saw an article in an issue of Farm Show Magazine, where a guy used recycled conveyor belting, to make an apron, said it melts snow off pretty good, cause of the black color...

1 1/2" angle iron - welded rebar onto back side so it is into concrete it cane in handy also when screeting concrete as height was set along the 18' door length .
Friend who had overhead door used 2" pipe set into concrete so door seals against pipe |
