How do i build a concrete slab?

I want to build a 12x12 concrete slab its only gonna be used to anchor some industrial metal shelving w/ sheets of metal or plastic for sides and roof, it will primarily be storage but will also be used to work on small motors and so will be exposed to gasoline, oil, etc. I live in CT and we get some real good freezes here how thick does the slab have to be? Do i need to use rebar? and can i just dig the hole and pour or do i need to do the whole stone and sand thing first?


Answer:
u dont need rebar, just dig out the area..make sure its level..build forms around area...and pour concrete about 4 inches thick...u might want to rent a mixer if your doing it yourself...thats gonna take quite a few bags of cement
