Hi,
I'm trying to decide whether to install a vapor barrier under a gravel floor for a 24x32" small polebarn that I am going to build. I'd appreciate an opinions from experience on this. I want to limit moisture coming up from the ground and rusting equipment to be stored there. This is in northeast Pa which can get fairly wet and slow percolation. I'm concerned that plastic sheeting between the ground and gravel will make the moisture levels worse by collecting water that may get above the plastic layer. I'm thinking about putting the barrier on gravel above grade, then add a final gravel layer on top (finishing about 3-4 inches above grade) at least to prevent any seepage from the perimeter from getting over the barrier. The structure will be below a slight slope which is unavoidable. Seems there are mixed opinions on this from the little info I could find. Also, is it really necessary to remove all the topsoil other than to level the site if it is fairly compact? I plan to use geotextile fabric to stabilize the 6-8" gravel layer. No intention to use concrete for this.
