[QUOTE="dwt, post: 87147, member: 428"] good point mate, i would be using 50mm square gal mesh and "split set's" these are a thin tube with a split down the side and a hollow metal ring welded to the end a slightly smaller hole is drilled, stand the mesh up and lock the split set mesh to the ground via a rock drill and a item called a dolly, i have also seen these dolly's made up for jackhammers, the split set is basically hammerd in like in a nail, if the ground was a deep river bed with a mix of small river pebble and large rocks 50mm square mesh would be my choice, larger slabby ground, you can move up to 100mm gal mesh. Running split sets is quite easy and quick compared to resin bolts, but the resin bolt will hold more weight by up to 7 plus tonne. I will be more descriptive on this in the next post of our shaft sink. ;) [/QUOTE]
