EnduraGrid Ground Reinforcement System
EnduraGrid is sold per grid section (0.25 square metre per grid - 50 x 50cm), so four EnduraGrid sections is equal to 1 square metre. For example, adding a quantity of 40 to your cart would give you 10 square metres coverage.
EnduraGrid is the market leading, tried-and-tested product in the ground-reinforcement market. The innovative interlocking porous paving grid system is designed to reinforce the ground - filled with grass or gravel, EnduraGrid is designed to give a firm surface that will not sink, rut or shift once installed. EnduraGrid is chemically inert and non-toxic; it is made from 100% recycled plastic. EnduraGrid is ideal for car parks, driveways, paths and patio areas offering an eco friendly solution without costing the earth.
Why use EnduraGrid?
EnduraGrid has been designed with flexible interior membranes and cut outs between cells that allow the grass to grow naturally. The top surface provides an anti-slip surface and when installed the product can support heavy loads. This is the ideal car park solution that's eco friendly, provides natural drainage and can be rapidly installed.

How to Install EnduraGrid
The intended use for Enduragrid will affect how it should be installed.
- For pedestrian and other light duty applications: Unless the ground is particularly poorly drained or unstable, Enduragrid can be laid directly on to the soil - It should only be laid on ground that is firm.
- Almost all customers dig down 65mm so the surface of the Enduragrid is level with the existing ground.
- Ensure the new level is flat and free of loose material, then place each grid in place, interlocking them as you go.
- Refill the Enduragrid area with pea gravel (typically ~10mm diameter), wood chippings, other aggregate or soil. Optionally you can seed with grass if soil is used.
- For vehicle applications or other concentrated loads:
- A hardcore base, or 'sub-base' will be required underneath to spread the load and prevent areas sinking over time. The depth of this base will vary on the load that you are going to put on it. Guidelines on depth can be found here: http://www.pavingexpert.com/faq_subbase.htm . 100 - 150mm is commonly used.
- Dig down to a sufficient depth to accomodate both the sub-base, a 10 - 20mm sand layer and the Enduragrid height.
- Fill with hardcore, compact accordingly (with a wacker plate) and then apply a layer of sand to form a 'screed' (http://www.pavingexpert.com/screeding.htm)
- Place each grid in place, interlocking them as you go.
- Refill the Enduragrid area with pea gravel (typically ~10mm diameter), wood chippings, other aggregate or soil. Optionally you can seed with grass if soil is used.
Dimensions of EnduraGrid
The dimensions of the Enduragrid are designed so that after accounting for fitting, they form a 500 x 500mm based grid. A drawing is below.
