I've done hundreds of pre-pour rebar inspections and that workmanship is better than most

Thank you too!

Are you a BC person, then? My base has not been approved.


I'm tempted to try it. I'm also tempted to trench out one side another
200mm and concrete that, although there are disadvantages there too.

Really, dont bother ... it's not needed and getting both side to act as a single lump is very hard.

I have looked at the thing again. The centre line (longitudinal) of the
4 slabs that make each bay is about 60mm in from the edge. The A142 mesh
does not reach out that far. I take your point about joining concrete.
There would be effectively a strip of concrete 200mm wide along one
side, bearing the weight of one side and half the roof structure.
