Hello all
I have a section of track about 30 feet long that due to the rough terrain I had to cross it is supported on 2 2x4's screwed together to form a T. This section is supported by cement blocks every 10 feet or so. I would like to cover all this up or at least the side that can be seen. I was thinking about draping screening over one side of the structure letting it slope down to the ground 1-3 feet below and pile up mulch etc.. and let nature do its thing filling it in with plants and weeds. I had an idea of using spray expanding insulation but don't know how it would hold up outside for a couple of years or so. It comes out yellow so I would have to paint it a bit. It would be light weight and easy to fill in if it cracks and breaks off. I thought of concrete since I have seen others use it with great success but that is heavy and would require alot more substructure, more than I want to do. What do you guys recommend?
