When you lay out the allotment plots, you'll need some kind of hard-standing area for vehicles [parking for plot-holders; delivery of muck/leaf mould; ditto for skip delivery/uplift if you decide to have a skip], so you need
tarmac/hardcore/sub-base/gravel or whatever.
You'll also like to have some main paths through the plots, so tarmac or whatever again - otherwise it will get horribly muddy and poached as people walk to their plots
If you think you might want an allotment 'shop' or a place where the committee can shelter from rain, keep records of rent received, sell seed potatoes, seeds, etc, a container would be useful. |
Last set of allotments I used got on very well without any of that. Parking was just rough ground by the field gate, skips were never needed, paths between plots were just grass and didn't seem to suffer from excess traffic, 'shop' didn't exist as the site was too small to warrant one (in fact the closest we came to a shop was a rickety table by the main gate with a sign on it saying 'help yourself' |
