rather than waste the turf making them look sweet , wait till its all working fine then rake up the sides of it all and back of burms etc and throw some grass seed on them. done!

My nextdoor neighbour, a bmxer has got loads of land that they don't use at the bottom of their garden and his dad has some machine, I've forgotten the name that churns loads of grass and earth and s**t up.

Oh and btw, we'll be moving the shed and using it as a roll-in  Tongue

personally i wouldnt use the shed as a roll in, purely because you dont really need one IMO

youd get to much speed rolling in off the top off the shed.

are you using the actual shed as a role in because ide say it was too weak to use as a role in and youde be liable to go through the roof wouldnt you? Undecided

How neatly have you cut that turf !  Tongue Cheesy

Looks good man, cant wait to see this when its done.

One of my many large gardens are looking rather tastey after seeing this.  Wink

A role in would be pointless in my opinion, the whole idea of a pump track is to gather/carry speed by pumping. Even from the off. I can get up to speed after only a couple of laps on my pump track.

Fromthe picture it looks as if you are digging down into the ground?? Will you not have a problem with drainage if you do this? Looks good though! You are very lucky Tongue

posabily diging track kind of things into the sides   like this   _______________   so that the water can drain into them but dont know incase you get a wheel stuck into one or something Undecided                                                                                                      \/                         \/




(sorry about the detailed drawing Roll Eyes but you get the jist some small drains)

If you're getting dirt from your neighbour, why do you need to dig down at all?
