So I have just received approval to build an elevated boardwalk across the mud bog on the blue trail.
This will be the longest span that I will have built at Six mile so i am going to need a boat load of materials.
This spot floods like crazy so I want to build this to last.
I have a wish list of things that i will need:
All the wood needs to be pressure treated so keep that in mind.
- 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 lumber in lengths of 8 foot or greater
- Trex decking (cut into 2' foot lengths for easy transport)
-4 x4 posts (4' or longer)
- Trex decking screws
-Bags of cement
-Galvanized decking hardware
-Motorized auger (so I don't have to hand dig 50 post holes)
-Home Depot gift cards (so I don't have to shell out for all this myself)
-Volunteer hours
We will start on this project in mid August before things get too muddy. We will be working on this on weekday mornings. (since that works best for me)
I only ask that you hold onto the supplies till Aug, but let me know if you have any to donate.
Once this boardwalk is done, we should be able to enjoy the loop at 6 mile in the wettest months with dry feet!
Thanks
