Engineered for maximum safety and durability, our heavy-duty rubber grass mats create a safe, comfortable surface without sacrificing the beauty of natural grass. Perfect for playgrounds, golf courses, schools, caravan parks, equestrian centres or any high-traffic lawn area, these mats combine slip-resistance, superior impact absorption and eco-friendly design for industry-leading performance.
Why Choose Our Grass Mats?
- BS EN 1177 certified: Independently tested by RAPRA to comply with the BS EN 1177:2018 standard for playground surfacing and critical fall height up to 3 m for unmatched safety.
- Built to last: Manufactured from high-grade recycled rubber with a generous 23 mm thickness, providing exceptional durability, shock absorption and protection for grass roots.
- Slip-resistant & weatherproof: The open-cell, honeycomb design delivers excellent grip in wet or dry conditions and drains quickly to prevent puddling or mud.
- Eco-friendly & sustainable: Made from recycled materials and fully recyclable at end of life, reducing environmental impact.
- Simple installation: Flexible mats are supplied with ground fixing pegs and cable ties for easy interlocking and secure anchoring on soil, grass or loose chippings.
- Low maintenance: Allows grass to grow through naturally for a discreet appearance; mats can be mowed over, rolled up or relocated as needed.
- Versatile applications: Ideal for play areas, pathways, climbing frames, memorial sites, schools, public parks, golf tee protection, stables and temporary event flooring.
- Peace of mind: Supplied with a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty and full compliance certificate.
Installation Guidance
1. Prepare the area - clear debris and level the ground. For best results lay over well-drained soil or a sand screed.
2. Position the mats - lay the mats in the desired configuration. For larger areas, stagger joints to avoid creating long straight seams.
3. Fix in place - push ground pegs through the holes at each corner into the soil. Secure adjacent mats together using the supplied cable ties.
4. Encourage grass growth - brush soil or seed through the matting holes. Water the area as needed. Grass will grow through the cells, creating a natural, green appearance.
5. Maintenance - mow as normal with a rotary mower once the grass is established. Inspect fixings periodically and replace ties if necessary.
