My newest project is hopefully to built a sand ring. I think I found the right person to built it, I found to best (highest) location on my property and now I am waiting for my quote.
We will construct a frame of boards for the ring. Then he will level out the ground and then put down a layer of crushed shells. On top he will put sand with some clay in it. I like the idea with the clay because I hope the sand will be less rolling around.
If its not going to work out, I can still mix textile into it. I will start with a rather thin layer of sand on top of the shells.
So are there any faults in my plans?? I am really scared about deep footing and I would also like to use my ring for lunging. The crushed shell is used around here for roads, it seems to be very solid but still draining well. So really hope it will do the job. In Germany I had recycled rubber mats with holes and nobs between the base and the sand. They are undestructable, always very elastic and perfect draining. But they are tough to get over here. So I really hope the crushed shell will do the same job.
