Used some side walls for 1st time, just uncovering the pit now. Noticeable difference between them and normal tyres. No waste under ordinary tyres but some under side walls. Quick way to cover a pit but I’m not convinced.
Was that on top of covers or straight on top of the sheet?

2 plastic sheets with tyres touching.
We double sheet then weave sheet then tyrewalls. We get absolutely no waste whatsoever as a result. The plastic weave sheet must be crucial to the process judging from your post. These sheets and tyrewalls are expensive to buy to start with but they're an investment that reap rewards in waste reduction over many years. Why not try say half a pit's worth and judge for yourself? We've had loads of people become interested after seeing our sheeting procedure. Once you've used tyrewalls you'll never go back to tyres. We use fork extensions to bunch them together and wagon strap them in a bundle. Makes the whole job far more pleasant.
