Landing area

[ShooTa]

due to finally having a real crack at our small woodland

im thinking about future extraction routes etc.

now we have a loading area for trucks and so on -

but i want to create a landing area that is in the woodland to store

lengths that can later be divided up for wherever.

 

so to those who have done this log stack on steroids

any ideal way to make the standing area?

 

is it simply some good hardcore or do you put in special drainage etc?

Most landings I`ve seen tend to just use what ever hard core they can get hold of locally, more often than not shale from a farm hole/quarry, not normally any drainage in there, just perhaps a camber to run surface water off.

If possible and your extracting a large amount of timber try and set up a one way system, to stop trailers ripping up the surface while turning around.
