Would You Use Road Plainings As Hardcore For Concrete Floor?

mikefoxo · 2017-02-28 17:45:09

Have a hay barn with a sloping dirt floor that I want to convert into straw bedded shed. Trying to do it on the cheap and don't want to buy in a truckload of hardcore. We have some tar plainings the council threw into us a few years ago, would that work for levelling up the ground? There is a small bit of soil in it too…

We have a good bit of that stuff here but it's used for road ways or gaps. Trunking is a safer option as it will hold its shape. The clumps of tar will reshape or flatten causing cavities anday lead to cracks in the concrete
