Hi everyone,
I am renting an excavator in a few weeks to get some projects done and one of those is getting my corral squared away. It's a muddy mess. It's close to our creek but has plenty of fall to shed water. It just needs the manure cleaned out and drains and gravel put it.
My question is this: I know that putting down fabric below the gravel will make a big difference with the mud but I will eventually need to put posts (9"diameter to support my alley panels) in and I'm concerned that the posts may not go through the fabric. I do also plan to put in 4" heavy wall perforated drain tiles as well (3 drains for a 40'x50' corral). Could I get away without the fabric?
