If you're dealing with muddy areas or unstable ground, Parking Grids and Plastic Shed Bases offer a reliable, long-lasting fix. Designed for heavy-duty use and made from recycled materials, these systems stabilise surfaces and support everything from vehicles to garden structures.

What Are Parking Grids and How Do They Work?

Structural Composition and Dimensions

Parking grids are made from durable, recycled plastic. Each unit measures 500mm x 500mm x 40mm, with integrated push-fit locking tabs that snap together for secure placement.

Ground Stabilisation Function

Once installed and filled, these grids create a firm, stable surface. They help prevent ground churn caused by repeated foot or vehicle traffic. Whether on a golf course or residential path, they hold their shape and strength.

Heavy Load Capability

Despite their lightweight design, these grids are tough. Tested to handle up to 500 tonnes of compression and 30-tonne axle loads, they suit both domestic and light commercial needs.

Common Uses of Parking Grids in Outdoor Settings

Domestic Applications

These grids are perfect for creating stable garden paths, patios, or driveways. They hold gravel or grass neatly in place, keeping surfaces tidy and walkable.

Commercial and Recreational Uses

From golf buggies to emergency access routes, parking grids handle frequent, heavy use. They’re often used in overflow parking areas, event spaces, and service roads.

Slope and Bank Reinforcement

When installed on sloped or uneven land, they help prevent infill movement and erosion, making them a smart choice for banks and inclines.

Plastic Shed Bases - An Alternative to Concrete

Quick and Easy Installation

Plastic shed bases click together with a simple snap-clip system. No concrete, slabs, or digging is needed, saving time and cost.

Ventilation and Damp Protection

Their raised design allows air to circulate beneath buildings, reducing moisture and helping prevent decay. This extends the life of sheds and greenhouses.

Compatibility with Garden Structures

Ideal for log cabins, greenhouses, and summerhouses, these bases support large structures and maintain their shape under pressure.

Design Features for Performance and Durability

Open-Cell Structure

Each grid contains 49 open pockets that hold gravel, grass, or soil. This structure locks the infill in place and adds to the surface strength.

Anti-Migration and Anti-Slip Design

Ribbed undersides prevent movement once laid, and anti-slip nodules help keep feet and tyres steady on the surface.

Tested for Harsh Conditions

The material withstands temperatures from -50°C to +90°C. UV stable and freeze-tested, these grids perform year-round without degradation.

Tips for Installing and Using Grids

Preparing the Ground

Clear and level the installation area. Use a weed membrane if required, and ensure proper drainage.

Choosing the Right Infill

Gravel between 5mm and 30mm in size works best. You can also use soil, grass seed, or stone depending on the purpose.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Once installed, minimal maintenance is needed. Occasional sweeping or grass trimming is usually enough to keep the area clean.

Sustainable, Practical and Cost-Saving

Eco-Friendly Material

Made entirely from recycled plastic, these grids support green building efforts. They comply with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (S.U.D.S.) standards, helping manage rainwater runoff efficiently.

Budget-Friendly Ground Solution

By eliminating the need for concrete or extensive landscaping, parking grids and shed bases reduce costs. Installation is quick, and you can use the surface immediately—saving time, money, and effort.
