HI MIX very nice work there mate well done thanks jon

yea, nice job

 

Would agree with previous suggestions re keeping it out the wet - as long as the water that will inevitably get onto the top of the polythene is given somewhere to go.

Also like the suggestion of mesh as anti-slip

Also wondered if a possible improvement might be to give it a very gentle camber each way from the centre to help shed water??

Perhaps lat a few concrete blocks under each end and then the polythene to give the water a chance to clear.

I made a platform in 2000 and the lengths of whole tree poplar were laid on four massive stones. Before I set the poplar down we slipped some polythene roofing felt where it touched the stones.

It shows no sign of rot but a length we did not use which has been sitting on the ground has now completely rotted away.

The tree was a windfall so we packed some coini underneath the top of the stem before we cut to length,(so not resting on ground).root plate is being left so still prob alive for a bit,there's a slight camber on top so water should run off.

Gonaderma ??(bad spelling )present so who knows how long it will last!.hopfully a few years,we will see.

Many thanks for all the comments,more pics when finished.
