Re: Harv here\'s the pic of that fabric I promised you
Peter -
I haven't actually seen or used the stuff yet, but it came up in various responses to my query about my muddy path.
From what I gather, it's a geotextile fabric which is used as a barrier between your installed roadbed and the underlying soil. It's a super-tough fabric weave that is impervious to mud and I think is permeable by water. What it does is it keeps the rocks/gravel/crush that you put down on top of it from being pushed into the mud and similarly keeps the mud from being "pumped" up to the surface.
Apparently it is commonly used, if not required in the construction of public roads.
Like I said, that's my understanding of it. I will now step back and wait to hear from the people who actually know what they're talking about. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
