GrassRoll Extra Grassing mat 2x15m up to 7,5t

Product detailed description

GrassRoll Extra is a 3D geogrid designed for reinforcing surfaces without the need to replace the subgrade. It is commonly used in residential and commercial landscaping projects where lightweight vehicles or temporary parking is required. The product is ideal for stabilising soft or loose ground in areas such as driveways, access roads, footpaths, and grassed zones. It is particularly suitable for low-traffic zones where the ground needs to support light vehicles or temporary parking without the need for full concrete or asphalt surfacing.

Installers working on landscaping or site development projects will find this product useful for creating stable, permeable surfaces that allow grass to grow through the grid structure. The 3D design distributes weight across a larger area, reducing ground compaction and preventing rutting. This makes it ideal for areas where aesthetics and functionality must be balanced, such as in gardens, car parks, or near buildings where access is required but full surfacing is not desired.

Technical parameters

Weight	69 kg
Code	OZ_006012D
Brand	GrassRoll

The product has a weight of 69 kg, which indicates its structural density and durability. This weight is important for determining the strength of the grid and its ability to support loads up to 7.5 tonnes. The 2x15m dimensions mean that each roll covers 30m², which is useful for calculating the number of rolls needed for a given project. These parameters are essential for proper sizing and selection based on the intended use and load requirements.

Installation and connection

Installation of GrassRoll Extra involves unrolling the mat on a prepared subgrade and securing it in place. The subgrade should be level and compacted to ensure even load distribution. The mat is laid in overlapping sections where necessary, and the edges are fixed using stakes or other suitable fixing methods. Care must be taken to avoid tearing or misalignment during the laying process. Once the mat is in place, a layer of topsoil or gravel is added, followed by grass seeding or sodding.

Common installation mistakes include failing to prepare the subgrade properly, which can lead to uneven surfaces and reduced load-bearing capacity. It is also important to ensure that the mat is fully embedded in the soil to prevent displacement. Installers should also avoid using sharp tools that could damage the grid structure during installation.

Compatibility and accessories

GrassRoll Extra is compatible with a range of landscaping and site preparation methods. It works well with topsoil, gravel, and grass seeding techniques. No additional accessories are required for basic installation. However, fixing tools such as stakes or pins may be needed to secure the mat in place, depending on the site conditions.

Technical background for designers

GrassRoll Extra operates on the principle of load distribution and ground stabilisation. The 3D grid structure interlocks with the soil particles, preventing displacement and reducing the risk of surface deformation. The material is typically a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or similar polymer, which is resistant to UV degradation and chemical exposure. This makes it suitable for long-term outdoor use.

The integration of the grid into the ground depends on the compaction level of the subgrade and the type of soil. The grid's ability to support loads up to 7.5 tonnes is influenced by the thickness and density of the soil layer above it. Proper installation ensures that the grid functions as intended, providing a stable surface while allowing for natural drainage and grass growth.

Service and operation

Once installed, GrassRoll Extra requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspections should be carried out to ensure that the surface remains stable and that there are no signs of displacement or damage. Any exposed edges or sections should be re-secured if necessary. No specific service intervals are required, as the product is designed for long-term use with minimal degradation.

Frequently asked questions

Can GrassRoll Extra be used on sloped surfaces?
Yes, GrassRoll Extra can be used on sloped surfaces provided that the subgrade is properly compacted and the mat is secured with appropriate fixing methods.

Is GrassRoll Extra suitable for heavy vehicles?
GrassRoll Extra is suitable for light vehicles and temporary parking. It is not recommended for use with heavy vehicles or continuous traffic.

Can the mat be cut to fit irregular shapes?
Yes, the mat can be cut to fit irregular shapes using a utility knife or similar cutting tool. Care should be taken to avoid damaging the grid structure.

How long does it take for grass to grow through the grid?
Grass growth through the grid depends on the seeding method and local conditions. With proper soil preparation and watering, grass can establish within a few weeks.
