    I have a small section at home where I want to build a green is there any problem with using concrete instead of road base as my foundation?.

    Thanks

    I doubt a concrete base would accept chips and pitches.

    I just finished the quoting process and am probably a day away from making a decision. Mine will be in a central location but the area isn't actually used for anything accept weekly mowing. It'll be 3.5m X 6.5m, 3 cups with fringe grass.

    I only want it for putting no chipping as I live not even 100 meters from the course, it's mainly for the kids and me to have fun.

    You could do it with concrete, just set up formwork in the shape you want and put height pins for all your undulations, so when you pour you make sure the Crete hits the top of all your pins which will give you your heights.
    If you were to do this, if you ordered from a concrete plant get them to throw half or a full dose of retarder in the mix so it will take ages to set so it gives you heaps of time to get your heights right (retarder normally gives you an extra couple hours), or if hand mixing you can buy the retarder to put in yourself.
    Once it's done you can lay 10 or 20mm of riversand on top then the turf so you could chip on it aswell if you wanted to. It would work out cheaper using concrete too.
    Feel free to ask any more questions.

    BTW, cheers Titty for the inspiration, I've been meaning to get off my ass and get some quotes for about 12 months. Had the last one come around today and was very positive. If all goes well it looks like I will get it in next week.

    I've spoken to Cameron at Supreme. Just about to send off the final plan for a DIY kit quote. The problem being is they cant travel and install unless the green is (???) >90m2. Seeing that mine will be a touch over 22m2 he offered to quote me on DIY only. This isnt really a big issue even though I would prefer a pro install it. He mentioned that their head office is actually in Cairns but will be moving down his way this year. I have to say he is extremely helpful and keen as to help. I've had a few other quotes from different suppliers and the one that came today was from Townsville and offered to install it next week as part of his quote. They're an agent for a Sydney based supplier.

    I think my wife is 98% on board at this stage, less heading to the course for short game practice was my tactic. Will have to wait and see what Cam comes back with. But like I said, cheers mate.

    Nice one.

    A blade through the garage Window or shank through teh glass pool fence could be interesting

    Especially after you've downed that bucket of Coronas!
