Getting your site right before delivery day is one of the most important things you can do for a successful metal building project.

Pro Tip #101: Geotextile Fabric Under Gravel

Install geotextile landscape fabric under your gravel pad before adding stone. It prevents the gravel from mixing with the soil below, maintains drainage, and keeps the pad level longer. A $50 roll of fabric saves years of re-grading.
