Mattlikesbikes Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 First big question, fiberglass or shotcrete. As a civil eng, I am a fan of concrete but the price is averaging double or more for concrete. I cant get a lot of info on fiberglass except from the guys that sell fiberglass... We have a small area, so looking at 10-12 x 20ft. We are ok with partial above ground, as the site has a slight slope, so the far end will already need to be 18" off the current ground surface.

I'd shy away from fiberglass. Concrete allows for the grade restrictions you have and a longer service life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
