The solution might require the use of very durable or treated wood.
Is there a simple way to isolate timber from ground damp, fungii and climbing vegetation ?
Does anyone have any pics of potential solutions ?
I have attached a pic of a Roman flint foundation recently excavated in a woodland in South Oxfordshire. This foundation is made from flint stones that have not been mortared together with anything other than earth and yet they have held together and lasted in the ground for over 1700 years. Has technology enabled us to achive similar results using wood ?
