We've finally bought a house and the garden's long and thin. Good for cycling around. I've built up a few rocky sections through the flower beds which are excellent (challenging to ride, but not too intrusive). I've also got a few sections of woodery over some small walls and also some stand alone north shore section that's basically like a huge coffin with on ramp and off ramps (about 7m long in total). It can be moved or dismantled to mow the lawn. But it took ages to build.
I chopped down one of the trees at the front gate so I could see better when driving. That tree is about 5m long and I'm sorely tempted to cut down another one to make a pair of supports. The problem is that the second tree will fall into the road if I fell it so I'd have to get some help to drag it into the garden. If I cut it up it would be no use.
Once I've got the wood then I think I have three options:
Free standing sections - labour intensive, need to be small to be portable. Fine for mowing the lawn.
Attach them to existing trees - not really that many trees in the right places so that's out.
Whack some chunky posts into the ground, brace them appropriately and build the NS onto them permanently. The problem with this option is it makes mowing the lawn tricky.
Anyone managed to get a decent bike track in the garden without offending the neighbours, wife, etc etc>
How did you do it?
