 my face was on fire Member 494, 2394 posts SQ 250, BP 150, DL 320720.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 05.06.2011 @ 14:56 PM by kingham22 Hi guys this maybe futile but I have an area in my garden 6m by 11m that is mine to play with so far as my strongman gear goes. Wanted to put concrete down but its turning out to be quite costly. Also not that this is on the cards but if I decided to sell then It would not be a great selling point having several tonnes of flat concrete along the back of my garden. So anyone got any ideas what I could put down ? Also smack in the middle of this area at the moment is a storm drain that is anchored with a hardstanding of 3m by 3m concrete x | ||

 3rd place Europes strongest man 2016 U90kg Member 1239, 13275 posts SQ 280, BP 155, DL 310745.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | As fat as cost goes it is expensive. But don't think you'd have a problem selling it as concrete base is always good for a garage. I've concreted half my garden and at my mums. Half of the concete is gonna be my 'gym' the other concrete Is 'patio' and we have some grass aswell. Much less matainance once it's down. | ||

 My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | why not stick wood chip down (looks nice enough, also makes the soil underneath really fertile if you (or anyone else) eventually puts grass down instead. then make a stable platform from some chipboard and rubber mats | ||

Member 1217, 142 posts SQ 177.5, BP 117.5, DL 205500.0 kgs @ 73kgs UnEq | Chipboard would just disintegrate with the rain though wouldn't it? Maybe if you varnished it? | ||
