Tent Floor

The floor of the tent was made of 4X8 plastic pieces from Duradeck. The Duradeck has a honey comb bottom and the plan was to put it directly on the clay. With rain predicted the night of the event plans changed. Stringers or boards were placed under the whole area to raise the floor 2 inches. This way the rain water could run underneath the floor and not rise up into the tent during the event. There was a concern that with all the weight the stringers would sink into the clay - but the clay held up well, with little damage.
