Joe1888 672 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 slowly but surely, 16 ton of hardcore so far, another 4-6 maybe should be enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabid 1,936 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Looking good pal, get a blinding layer of sand over the top and a dpm, as above I would also put provision for services in, even if it's just a duct for now, takes minutes, costs pence but saves fortunes and hassle down the line. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe1888 672 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Slow progress, honest thoughts, would this be ok??? its just been pushed in at corners, not been cut or taped, broken slabs to raise the mesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jiggy 3,207 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Could of went another square with lap on mesh but it's spot on otherwise you could park a jumbo jet on that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe1888 672 Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 you reckon 2 squares?? ive not done anything for electric supply yet, its been bugging me lol ive not booked the lorry yet so theres still time if i decide to... take it yous ment dig through the hardcore (wasnt sure about digging through the compacted hardcore), add abit piping to run wires through? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeppi26 1,855 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 for the electrics just run some piping under the mesh with some string running through the pipe so if you do want electric in there just tie the cables to the string and pull them through :thumbs And that looks spot on 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jiggy 3,207 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Get a 90 degree 4inch sewer bend with a short piece of pipe in each end and stick it one corner you will have enough room in it to bring in water feed,electric or any other service pipe afterwards under mesh will do fine no need to dig up hardcore it will probably be a steel wire armoured electric cable anyway so no need to go too deep. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
