We are about to complete a drive. Two new 9ft timber gates are being made and when they are in situ I want to place a double row of the bull nosed kerbs in, the same that I have laid down each side of the drive. This is to make a barrier between the granite drive and the small amount of tarmac between the line of the gates and the highway.
My question is what sort of footing do I need to put under the kerbs ? I was thinking about a trench about 600-700 deep, maybe 400 wide with a good concrete mix with the kerbs bedded in to the top. Is that sufficient and should I be putting ree bar or something like that in as well. I am doing this because of the traffic that will be going over the kerbs. It is only a domestic driveway so no commercial vehicles.
Thanks for any replies.
