Is there a flooring or siding material that would be satisfactory for an outdoor project?
as a floor for my leaf and garden waste compost pile. It is roughly 120 square feet. Roots from nearby trees grow up into the pile making the material difficult to move.

Sharron W on Aug 12, 2012Any Possibility of moving the location of your "pile"? I Built Bins, 4x4x4 with, you guessed it 4x4 Posts and Chicken wire to keep the Compost off the ground...after 25 years and several repairs they are still in good shape as far as the posts, but I've had to replace chicken wire with rabbit Hutch wire...and a wooden gate across the front of each bin....for easy access when it's time to use it.Helpful Reply

3po3 on Aug 12, 2012You can get a variety of thicknesses. The big box stores and hardware stores sell plastic sheeting in rolls for vapor barriers and such. 6 mil sheeting (which I believe is 6/1000ths of an inch thick) is fairly standard, and seems like it should work for you.Helpful Reply

E.C. P on Aug 16, 2012Thank you for the suggestions but this doesn't answer my question because I don't believe the plastic sheeting would be satisfactory because the ground is uneven due to tree roots . ecpHelpful Reply

3po3 on Aug 16, 2012Have you looked into some type of compost barrel or bin? It would solve your problem, and make for faster, better compost it you were using something that could turn more easily.Helpful Reply

3po3 on Aug 17, 2012I see. I always think of kitchen compost when people write about compost. Is there any way to move the pile to a different area with fewer root problems? I know I'm still not answering your question, but I don't know of another good solution. Sorry.Helpful Reply
