YDS NEEDED. tHEY CIRCUMFRANCE OF THE HOLE IS 28' ROUND AND SLOPES FROM 2.5 FEET AT ONE END TO 0 ' AT THE OTHER. OVERALL THE HOLE IS 30' LONG BY 30' WIDE . THE SLOPE RANGES FROM 2.5 ' TO APPROX 4" |
Barry,
I don't have a clear picture in my mind of the hole. Is it a round hole which is 30 feet across, 2.5 feet deep at one end and 4 inches deep at the other? Is this diagram correct?
