Behalf Of Jure Poľar Hi, I got attention from Tia & Donald and building a tyre foundation.
How did it turn out at the end and after some time now? I am planning to do a 2
rows of residue tyre foundation for my house, so this is why I am asking. Are
there any test done so far on what is the lifetime of such foundation and if
any problems are encountered and what should you pay attention to. I am
planning to make a first fow of tyres into the ground and the second above
ground. Shall the tyres be filled with a gravel?
