I would say for the small cost of rebar in the grand scale of things, why not use it on a garage? My FIL's garage has none and its a complete disaster...You couldnt roll a tool chest from one side to the other no matter how hard you tried... I've been getting quotes to pour my 30x50 Garage and I will be putting in #4 Rebar all over... 12" spacing around the perimeter, and 18" on the inside...overkill, probably, but I dont want to pour 2 slabs over the small cost of Rebar.


Sounds like rebar or mesh wouldn't help your FIL's floor .. . . the base is key.
As someone points out, a guy can get by with no metal - but the key is base preperation, for the concrete to sit on..
