Concrete floor

[Jinjerjo]

I have a barn with a concrete floor that will be housing goats. Any ideas for how to protect the floor from moisture? What can I use to seal it etc.?

Concrete sealer or concrete paint...should easily clean with a garden hose

If this has wood on the concrete -- wall base plates, etc. -- you want to be sure to seal at those joints and the wood. Garages generally have a row of block, this may not. Often smaller buildings will bring the metal pins right up from the slab.

If the barn is truly an older barn, you may have block up at perimeters...and even a drain trough when I built my barn, I had foundation and block up, wood walls onto that. But I left dirt floors, except tack room. Concrete there. All has pro/con.

No matter what you use, you will need to clean and reapply each year to keep a good seal on it.
