Hi
I have an area in my garden, I've not been in the house long but it was previous a shed and plant area. It has all been ripped out apart from the shed.
The area is approx 8m x 3m, plan is to replace the smaller shed with a a larger one and the other section a kids area with a trampoline. (After a few years once out grown this area would most likely be decked.)
The question I have and the issue I have is...what base to use? The issue I have is that this area is heavy clay and does not drain well at all after rain, you can start sinking in it.
The shed I was going to have slabbing laid as a base.
Trampoline area I wanted wood chips but what should go under the woodchips and weed control?
I could just have this area slabbed and then covered with woodchips, or is there an alternative, like laying gravel over the area then the weed control and wood chips.
I dont want the trampoline sinking into the ground for obvious reasons.
Any idea of advise would be greatly welcomed
