Bit of a Rave/Jam in a Field!

[Da3dalus]

Myself and a few lads have got permission to use some land to host a Rave/Jam.

Have most of the odds and ends sorted out.

One problem though.

We have a marquee to have the main event/dance area in but the ground is a lil lumpy and could get muddy real fast with everyone dancing. Plus we dont want anyone to get hurt.

So I thought I will get some pallets from work to create a floor and that would be grand, but the wood is pretty weak and could snap.

Anyone have any Ideas to an alternative?

On the cheap ofcourse :P

Thanks

I dont think there is any cheap way to really fix that problem except letting people know in advance it might get muddy. I could be wrong though

[Ed Paris]

a big big load of straw always helps!

[Bhajan]

lay down a bunch of astro-turf or something similar? I dunno man thats a tough one..

[Dwonka27]

just use a large tarp and pin it into the ground or hay either way would be fine.

LET THERE BE MUD.

I second the loads of straw/hay.

If you can't get straw, try a local timber yard - they will probably let you bag up loads of sawdust for free which should work.

[Pearce161]

fine sawdust no good it just bogs up with the mud, makes it thicker an claggy. Bags of shavings may do the trick but here they're £4.50 a bale, like a big bag. Living on a farm i'd go with the straw myself, just make sure u have a lot of it. Hay can be a bit dusty

+1 on the straw, you could also use bales around the dance area to keep everything penned in.
