I'd build it just like a feeding pad or other heavy use area. First ditch it and crown it so water will have a place to go. Make sure it has a discharge point. Then cover with geotextile filter fabric. Top with 4-6 inches of 2 inch crushed stone, then top that with 4-6 inches of class I sand. I feed on one and its held up nicely, been in place since 1995. Usually every 3 years or so I have to put 20-25 tons of class I back on it for a 48x72 pad but I'm scraping it 4-5 times in a winter. The class I sand is just a coarser version of lime so it doesnt hurt anything to be in with the manure. In a corral it probably wont matter but I changed from using a metal scraper to a rubber tire scraper and it cut way down on the damage I was doing to the pad. Check with NRCS on plans for heavy use areas.
