Hello I am wanting to build a raised platform for a tent (about 4 square meter). I will use small diameter round poles for the flooring as where I live getting milled timber here is a huge task. I also realize I have to take into consideration the posts to hold up the floor (which I will probably put on stone plinths rather than in the ground as the
wood here doesn't do too well in the ground) for the flex (how many and how far apart
should I place the posts). reason for considering this is the point of my topic, as the floor of the tent platform will be small diameter round poles I wanted to put a layer of limecrete to fashion a flat surface, will this last as a surface or will it wash away when the platform is not in use? even if I incorporated a slight slope for
water runoff? and what thickness should it be so as not to crack with hot and cold temps? There is no frost here but we do get a bit of rain and have a mild winter. I have used a
cob and
concrete mix to encase my fire bath which is in the rain and wet, it holds up well in the weather I may even have to consider this as an option but I wanted more info for the limecrete. (Probably I had better cover it when not in use)
thanks in advance for your help on this wee task.
