Flooring Layers

Asked Michelle what the goat barn should rest on. She said most people do bare earth—and then add mats and straw and such appropriately. However, during wet/rainy seasons (like now) there is mud everywhere! (Feb. 1, 2024)

Layers:

————rubber mats/straw————
(depending on season)
—————–DURA mats—————
(for comfort)
———slatted wood “trap” floor——
(liftable for cleaning)
————flat concrete pavers———-
(can power wash periodically)
(can lift if needed)
————#9 limestone gravel———–
(for drainage)
—————packed earth—————-

For this fence we used the Pecan stain.

The finish looks very much like a pecan shell. For 207 feet of this fence design I guesstimated 7 gallons for a single application, and we only used 6 gallons, leaving a gallon extra to do touch ups if necessary.
