The wall was built over about 4 seperate occasions.
Berm...about 5 hrs (machinery used), wall frame about 6 hours, wall decking about 5 hours. So... about 16 hrs (with 2 people) all up I think.
The GV Park is still in build mode and it needs to be planned properly. All the features are thought out and many of them designed on paper first. The idea of this is that they will be high quailty features and built to last.
The park is still awaiting council approval before it can open to the public and this has been on going for about 18 months, so unfortunately we can't give an opening date.

You could make this wall ride out of a second hand fence if you were so inclined. It just wouldn't last as long. Another option is going to the second hand materials places and picking up old timbers from houses that have been pulled down, etc. Your options are pretty much limited only by what you can find.
I reckon half the fun is building them, no matter how much fruit is on offer, ohhh and for Nick's company of course.. BTW Mr Greenvalleys, lunch seems to be getting later and later on your build days
If you build a cheap one, you can always ride it until your sick of it, then start over again.
However these rides are built to last with very little maintenace, beacuse as the park grows bigger you don't want to have to go back and keep fixing stuff, hence the cost.

Mate he is building a bike park and a business. You do it right the first time, build it strong and you won't have any issues.
It looks great mate, can't wait to ride the park once its all done!
