Each mat measures a generous \u003cstrong\u003e1.5m × 1m\u003c\/strong\u003e and is packed with holes, so roots grow up through the mat to lock it in place and keep the green look.

They're all the same idea: a tough recycled-rubber mat with an open ring\/hole structure that spreads load, drains freely and lets grass grow through. Whatever you call it, this is the mat that beats mud in gateways, paddocks and worn ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrass protection that lets the grass grow through\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese \u003cstrong\u003erubber grass mats\u003c\/strong\u003e solve worn, muddy, high-traffic ground. Laid over grass, the open-grid design lets shoots grow up through the holes, so within a few weeks the mat all but disappears into the lawn while carrying the load underneath. They spread weight, stop rutting and poaching, and give a firm, non-slip surface in all weathers — without the cost or permanence of a hard path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOne mat, dozens of jobs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs genuine multi-use \u003cstrong\u003emud control\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003egrass protection mats\u003c\/strong\u003e they're a favourite for field and paddock \u003cstrong\u003egateways\u003c\/strong\u003e, stable and yard walkways, and muddy access routes for horses, livestock and machinery. The same mat works as a golf-buggy or footpath surface, for \u003cstrong\u003eparking on grass\u003c\/strong\u003e at events and overflow car parks, and for landscaping and grass reinforcement around gardens and verges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlayground \u0026amp; trampoline safety matting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese mats double as \u003cstrong\u003eplayground safety mats\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erubber playground flooring\u003c\/strong\u003e — a cushioned, non-slip, free-draining surface under \u003cstrong\u003eswings, slides, climbing frames and trampolines\u003c\/strong\u003e. The recycled rubber absorbs impact for a safer fall surface while grass grows through to keep the area green, so they suit gardens, schools and public play areas alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e16mm or 22mm — which thickness?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e16mm\u003c\/strong\u003e mat is the everyday choice for pedestrian traffic, gateways, playground and garden use. Step up to \u003cstrong\u003e22mm\u003c\/strong\u003e for the heaviest duty — vehicles, tractors, livestock and permanent gateway or parking use — where you want maximum load spread and durability. Both are made from tough recycled rubber that shrugs off weather, won't rot and stays flexible in the cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSize, weight \u0026amp; coverage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach mat is \u003cstrong\u003e1.5m × 1m\u003c\/strong\u003e, covering \u003cstrong\u003e1.5m²\u003c\/strong\u003e. Work out how many you need with the coverage calculator on this page — enter your area and it gives you the number of mats and the price. Mats butt tightly together and can be pegged down (ground pegs) on slopes or high-traffic runs. They're heavy, hard-wearing and simple to lay straight onto grass or soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSafe, tough and long-lasting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from recycled rubber, the mats are non-slip wet or dry, kind to hooves and knees, and rated for playground fall-safety use. They won't crack, splinter or rot, and the open ring structure drains freely so surface water disappears rather than pooling. A one-off buy that lasts for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; guarantee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand new and dispatched from the UK with \u003cstrong\u003efree UK delivery on all orders\u003c\/strong\u003e (typically 3–5 working days).
