Hardwood

[Carlnorwich]

I've bought some hardboard to protect a brickweave drive, I'm clearing the garden and will pile the earth onto the boards until it is taken by a grab lorry.

I'd like to re-use the boards but I guess they will be well knackered after this.

If I prime the edges will it prolong their life, or is there something else I can do it protect/harden them?

Many thanks.

If your using hardboard with soil/debri on top then they wont be worth keeping. Not worth much either.

Bet he means 18mm ply.

Yes; soil and debris. Hardboard 32mm.

 

[joe-90]

Do you mean 3.2mm? 32mm is about an inch and a quarter.

When I was told to buy hardwood, for some reason I pictured chipboard in my head, which is the big heavy stuff

I realise now that hardwood will be knackered after I've finished putting soil onto it.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

18mm chipboard is lighter than 18mm ply.
