[QUOTE="blacksheep10, post: 631963, member: 13"] Do you guys have lime screenings down there? The big pile of dust left over at the crusher from making clean rock? Put your pad on a foot of that. Less compaction needed to make it right than there is on a dirt pad. If is as skinny as it gets. It doesn't grow and shrink with weather/moisture changes, and therefore it doesn't let your floor explode. With dirt you need real compaction of proper material in appropriate sized lifts. If you just dump a load of whatever dirt you got for free from a haul off job and strike it off smooth, your pad won't last a couple years. Get screenings, put in 6" at a time, smooth off with a skid steer and make it a swimming pool, walk it in with the tires, do second lift, wet again, let it dry for a bit, walk it in, ready for steel when mostly dry.
