Road Fabric

Where can road fabric be bought by a doer-itselfer?

Larry, I'm sorry, but I don't know- the fabric roll was given to me by a buddy in the construction business - he had 2 rolls left from a paving job. He used one and I got the other in exchange for some design work I did for him. Barter system at work!
I'm sure someone here will know.

One roll did five hundred feet of driveway x 12 ft. wide? How much would a roll like that weigh?

[chevdog]

1 roll went 400 ft, then I used part of his remaining second roll for the last 100 ft.

Each roll seems to weigh 1,000,000 lbs. trying to lug them around [img]/forums/images/icons/ooo.gif[/img]

Actually I would guess each roll weighs somewhere around 300-350 lbs.

You can usually buy the fabric from suppliers that carry culverts and other drainage supplies. Just let you fingers do the walking.

how many tons of base did u use? i was thinking of doing the same thing at my place, but the drive is only about 250' long...and any idea what the road fabric costs if we have to purchase it outright?

[TimSullivan]

I would have to go back an check for sure but if I think it was about $225 for 300 foot by 12 foot.

What you see in the picture took 153 cubic yards of base. I also had an additional truckload of 14 yds. dumped in a pile to use for repair and additional fill where needed.

You answered all of the questions I had about the road fabric without having to ask them myself. Thanks <font color="blue"> </font color>

Now that we're up on a six month interval. How is the drive holding up?
