I need to put a moisture barrier on the dirt floor. I put in drainage pipe to a sump but don't want to just cover it with plastic. Is there a product that I could use that is tough enough to walk on (or put gravel on) and will still work as a moisture barrier? If so, where could i get it?
And no I don't want to use cement:)

thanks for any replies.

You could also use polyethylene and cover with sand or pea gravel. If you really want something tougher consider EPDM.

Scrounge up an above-ground pool liner, or two. The heaviest are around 30 mil.
