Sports

EcoGrid provides a strong, permeable and low maintenance solution for sports facilities and golf courses.

Why EcoGrid works for Sports

EcoGrid is a reliable choice for a wide range of sports environments because it creates strong, stable and fully permeable surfaces that stand up to constant use.

Reduces soil compaction to support grass growth and surface quality

Fully permeable to prevent pooling and improve drainage

Strong enough to handle vehicles, machinery and regular footfall

Suitable for both gravel and grass finishes

Helps reduce long term maintenance and resurfacing costs

Where it can be used?

EcoGrid can be used across a wide range of sports facilities to create stable, attractive and long lasting surfaces. It is suitable for:

Fully Permeable

EcoGrid is 100 percent free-draining, giving you a complete SuDS solution that manages water naturally. It is carbon neutral and produced from carefully selected recycled plastics that would otherwise go to landfill.

Beyond Strong

Every EcoGrid product is independently tested and published to prove its strength. Our range is certified by European TUV and RAL testing centres, and EcoGrid is an approved NATO supply product used worldwide.

Unrivalled Solution

EcoGrid is trusted across the globe, with more than 1.5 million square metres sold in 2017 alone. Manufactured in a fully automated, sustainable European facility, we support every customer with expert technical advice and friendly guidance.

How it works

EcoGrid is installed on a prepared and levelled surface, creating a strong and permeable base that supports both grass and gravel finishes. Once the sub base and screed layer are in place, the grids are laid quickly, locking together to form a stable and uniform surface.

Curves can be shaped using our dedicated curving pieces, and edge strips or anchor systems can be added where required.

For gravel surfaces, sharp angular stone is recommended to ensure a secure fit within the grid cells. Grass-filled areas can also be created using either on-site growing or pre-grown turf modules for instant use. Once installed, EcoGrid spreads weight evenly, protects the ground beneath and keeps surfaces firm, clean and easy to maintain all year round.
