Need to spread 5-6" of sand on a new horse arena that has already been prepped with 6" compacted gravel topped with 4" compacted lime. The area is approx 200' x 400' with a slight slope. Sand will be delivered by fleet of semis.
Looking for ideas to gauge spread depth to be as consistant as possible across the area. Cannot stake the area as it would break the lime cap.
Will be using a D4K LGP but do not have laser control available. When finished, cannot leave anything behind in sand as it would be a hazard to horses. Will also have to be visible to truck traffic during deliveries.
Thinking about using traffic cones marked to depth as they would be visible during deliveries and simple to move and remove.
Has anyone used something similar, or have a better idea ?
