[QUOTE="robin banks, post: 7353100, member: 1940"] Any one seen the ebb and flow system. Friend of mine installed one in Germany. Looked the business. Cost was high. But looks fairly simple. Ground was dug down to subsoil. Laser levelled flat. Drains dug in. Then plastic membrane over everything. Drain pipes installed in trench with drainage stone on top and 6 inches over whole base. Then sand on top. From memory about a foot which had fibre mixed in. The clever bit is the drainage goes to a collection point and the outlet is set at just under finished level. So sand is always sitting in water. So even though it has a big depth of sand it has a hard surface. Bit like how easy it is to walk at seashore compared to soft sand at top of beach. I think you can pump water into arena from underneath and that part cost money. But he has never used that feature yet. In winter you can pull and plug in collector and drain out water so in a frost you don't end up with a giant ice cube. As I said it cost a fair bit. But I like the idea of keeping the water in the arena. Any thoughts on this? [/QUOTE]
