X-Grid is the ultimate ground reinforcement grid
X-Grid is our very own gravel grid, designed and manufactured in the UK from 100% recycled plastic.
It is unique as it has a load capacity of up to 428 tonnes per square metre meaning it can withstand the weight of almost anything you might find on gravel roads to gardens.
At the same time it is extremely lightweight, weighing just over 5kg per square metre it is easy to handle and lay.
This blog post takes a look at what a gravel grid strength of 428 tonnes means for you.
What is X-Grid?
X-Grid is our best-selling product for a number of reasons. It is permeable, porous, SUDs compliant and abides by all water management laws and regulations.
It is also exceptionally strong and will therefore protect and reinforce the ground whilst encouraging natural drainage.
What is the weight load of X-Grid?
The load bearing capacity of X-Grid is 428 tonnes per m2 when unfilled.
It has a maximum carry load of 30 tonnes (axle load).
What does 428 tonnes load capacity hold?
X-Grid can protect any surface from the heaviest of vehicles. It is used at this holiday park to withstand both vehicle weight and heavy foot traffic.
Park Avenue Holiday Village told us:
“After allowing the grass seed to grow, Park Avenue Holiday Village had a much more complete access route network, allowing their visitors and holiday makers to arrive at their holiday homes and unload their vehicles at the side of their home.
“In a stark contrast to previous years, these grassed roads now do not rut or become muddy and once the grass has matured, the X-Grid is almost invisible while still providing a solid and stable surface for many years to come. The grass can be mowed over without any hinderance, allowing access for ride-on lawnmowers to maintain the access routes much more quickly and effectively.”
