Installation

Are the grids easy to install?

Yes, they are lightweight and feature a simple interlocking system. Most customers can install them themselves without specialist tools.

Do I need a base layer before installing the grids?

For best results, we recommend preparing a suitable sub-base (e.g., compacted hardcore and a membrane) before laying the grids, especially for driveways and heavy traffic areas.

Applications

They are multi-purpose and suitable for:

  • Gravel driveways and paths

  • Erosion and mud control

Can I use the grids for horses and livestock?

Yes, the grids are often used in equestrian areas such as paddocks, stables, and gateways to prevent mud and erosion.

Do the grids stop gravel from spreading?

Yes, when filled with gravel, the grids lock the stones in place, preventing them from scattering and creating a stable, even surface.

Can the grids be used with grass?

Yes, they can be filled with soil and grass seed, creating a reinforced lawn or green parking area that looks natural but supports weight.

Maintenance & Performance

Are the grids maintenance-free?

Yes, once installed and filled, they require very little maintenance. Occasional topping up of gravel or reseeding grass may be needed depending on use.

Will weeds grow through the grids?

If installed with a weed control membrane, they will significantly reduce weed growth.

Are the grids permeable?
