Are you giving that a try?
Hans,
I think I’ll try a 12’ section to see what happens.
Before the pour, I will drive 12" sections of re-bar into the ground for added support and to tie the reinforcing (what ever I use) material to.
I will also dig a small hole every two feet or so to give the concrete a “footing” so-to-speak.
The neat thing about this is it is cheaper than the ladder method by far, and self leveling.
It won’t settle with the fill, because my fill is rocks and is already settled about as much as it will ever settle.
I will put a small scrap piece of redwood every two feet or so in the wet concrete to fasten the track to.
the redwood will also act as a spacing gauge to keep both sides of the form parallel.
Even if it does move a little over time, a little shimming under the track will correct it.
