  Concrete floor in a Pole Barn

A few?s
Do you plan on heating it?
How are the poles set? on top of the ground. On footings?
How deep?
How much frost do you get?

  Concrete floor in a Pole Barn

If you are not going to heat it,I would put an inch of styrofoam down to keep the frost from heaving it and breaking it. The posts are an unknown as far as any movement
unless you dig one and see what you have.Previous owner available?
The poly serves two purposes, a vapor barrier, which you don't need (unheated) but also gives you a harder concrete
by allowing it to stay wet longer in the cure process.
The longer the better. The floor finishers don't like it because they take for ever to set up. But will give you a much harder surface. Tire chains, changing implements etc.
If you pour it around those posts and they move?it will bust the floor. You can add fiber and go to a 4500 lb mix
for short money. I also take a piece of 2"x2" angle weld
a few 6" bolts to the inside and press it into the leading edge of the concrete(right after pouring)at your door entrance. It really saves that edge.
Good luck!

Beagle
Good advice, those guy's love to add the water don't they?
Make's it easier for them and the customer pays later with
a crappy result.
Put it in dry and keep it wet!
