Frequently Asked Questions About Grass Mats

What are grass mats made of?

Our grass mats are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, a durable, UV-stabilised and fully recyclable material. HDPE grass mats are designed to withstand heavy loads including cars, vans and agricultural vehicles while remaining flexible enough to follow the contours of uneven ground. They are resistant to frost, UV light, chemicals and oil, making them ideal for permanent or temporary outdoor use in the UK climate.

How much weight can grass mats support?

Our heavy-duty grass protection mats are rated to support loads of up to 350 tonnes per square metre, making them suitable for cars, vans, lorries, tractors and even forklifts. They are widely used for temporary car parks at events, agricultural access tracks, and permanent ground reinforcement on paddocks and stable yards. The specific load rating varies by product — please check individual product pages for details.

Can grass mats be used for events?

Yes — grass mats are one of the most popular solutions for temporary event flooring, particularly for overflow car parks at festivals, weddings, sports events and agricultural shows. They can be quickly laid on bare grass or soil, walked and driven over throughout the event, and then lifted and stored for reuse. Our grass protection mats cause minimal ground damage even in wet conditions, and grass typically recovers within a few weeks of removal.

Are grass mats suitable for horse paddocks?

Yes — ground reinforcement mats are widely used in equestrian settings. They are ideal for reinforcing gateways and high-traffic areas in horse paddocks where the ground becomes churned up in wet weather. They can also be used to create hard-standing access tracks, yard surfaces and trailer loading areas. Our grass mats are safe for horses and can be laid directly on prepared ground without foundations.

How do you install grass mats?

Installing grass protection mats is straightforward. First, mow the grass or vegetation short. Level the ground and remove any large stones. Lay the mats directly onto the surface, connecting them together using the built-in interlocking edges. No adhesive, specialist tools or groundwork are required. For permanent installations, we recommend adding a layer of sharp sand or gravel beneath the mats to aid drainage. The mats can be cut to size using a hand saw or jigsaw.
