With the issue of longshore drift and coastal errosion of the beach, the concrete option is not possible as the footings would eventually be undermined and removal of the concrete would be prohibitive if required in 15 years time. Rick, probably the best way forward would be to recess the heads of the planks with square plate and bolt through the middle of the plates. This would increase the bearing surface and reduce the slop that a bolt hole may generate. This is how the old ramp was held together years ago and it lasted for a life time but was removed each winter. When the ramp remains in place each winter, there is no easy answer and with teh size of the waterlogged planks, removal each winter would be very difficult as we know. Bye for now Barnsie |

John Pollit & Stuart are well on the case with remdial repairs so the ramp can be used; just wondering if there were other clubs with a similar challenge. Thorpe Bay are just about to put a new ramp in and I'm getting some details from them ... |
