Built for Outdoor Surfaces That Take Constant Impact

Outdoor environments like golf pathways, playgrounds, and equestrian areas demand flooring that can handle continuous pressure, changing weather, and ground movement. Standard mats often fail in these conditions, either flattening over time or becoming slippery.

This 16mm grass gateway rubber mat is designed specifically for those demanding environments. Its durable construction and open structure allow it to perform reliably across outdoor surfaces while maintaining stability and usability throughout the year.

Performance That Supports Stability and Drainage

Open Hollow Design for Drainage

The hollow structure allows water, mud, and debris to pass through the surface rather than sitting on top. This helps maintain traction even in wet conditions and prevents pooling, making it suitable for outdoor pathways and high-use areas.

16mm Thick Rubber for Ground Protection

The thickness provides a protective layer over grass or soil, helping reduce surface wear caused by foot traffic, animal movement, or equipment. It also contributes to a more stable walking surface without restricting the natural ground beneath.

Where This Mat Performs Best

This mat is widely used across golf courses for pathways and walkways, helping protect grass while maintaining a usable surface. In playgrounds, it provides a stable base that supports movement while allowing natural drainage.

In equestrian environments, it helps manage mud and ground wear in high-traffic zones such as entrances and paddocks. It is also suitable for gardens, lawns, and general outdoor areas where durability and practicality are required.

Easy Placement and Self-Laying Design

The mat is designed to be self-laying, meaning it can be placed directly onto the ground without the need for complex installation. Its weight and structure help it stay in position during normal use.

For larger areas, multiple mats can be placed together to create continuous coverage. The flexible design allows it to adapt to slightly uneven ground, making it suitable for natural outdoor surfaces.

Low Maintenance and Long-Term Durability

Outdoor flooring requires simple and reliable maintenance. This mat can be cleaned by brushing, rinsing, or allowing natural rainwater to wash through the structure.

Its rubber composition supports long-term durability even in changing weather conditions. With regular use, it maintains its structure and continues to perform without requiring frequent replacement.

Can this mat be used on grass without damaging the surface underneath?

Yes, this mat is specifically designed for use on grass and natural ground surfaces. The open structure allows grass to grow through and around the mat while distributing weight more evenly across the surface. This helps reduce damage caused by foot traffic or equipment while maintaining the natural condition of the ground over time.

Is the drainage system effective during heavy rain conditions?

The hollow design allows water to pass through the mat rather than collecting on the surface. This helps prevent puddles and reduces the risk of slipping in wet conditions. It is particularly useful in outdoor environments such as golf courses and equestrian areas where maintaining traction during rain is essential.

Is this mat suitable for use in equestrian environments?

Yes, this mat is commonly used in equestrian settings such as paddocks, walkways, and entrances where ground wear and mud can become an issue. It helps stabilise the surface while allowing drainage, making it more practical for both animals and handlers. Its durable construction supports regular use in these environments.

How easy is it to install this mat on outdoor surfaces?

The mat is designed to be self-laying, which means it can be placed directly onto the ground without adhesives or tools. Its weight and structure help it remain stable during use. For larger areas, multiple mats can be positioned together to create extended coverage with minimal effort.

Does the mat remain effective in high traffic outdoor areas?

Yes, the heavy-duty rubber construction is designed to handle continuous use in high-traffic areas such as pathways and entrances. It helps protect the ground underneath while maintaining a stable walking surface. Over time, it continues to perform without flattening easily under pressure.

What kind of maintenance does this mat require?

Maintenance is simple and does not require specialised cleaning. The mat can be brushed or rinsed with water, and its open design allows dirt and debris to pass through naturally. In outdoor environments, rainfall often helps keep the surface clean, making it a low-maintenance solution.
