Use of Sand
VERY IMPORTANT – Mud Grids are designed to be the sub-base and base in one, then THEY NEED A GOOD LAYER OF TOPPING if they are being used for animal traffic.
As we all know, animals can and do on occasion lose their footing on ANY surface, be it mud, grass, concrete, or anything else, and all that any of us can do is try to minimise this risk as much as possible. The surface of the Grids is designed to be slip-resistant, and the texture is similar to roughened concrete.
For the topping, you can use sand (quarried sharp sand is our preference)
Animals moving on and off the Mud Grid area will carry mud etc. onto the Grids. Care should be taken to monitor this. Mud by definition is slippery. We realise that some customers ignore the Manufacturer’s Recommendation and allow their animals onto bare slabs, but this is their decision, and we do not recommend this.
We recommend at least 1 bulk bag per full pallet of slabs, ideally two or more (especially if you want it to be deep enough for playing, rolling, lying down on.) It is money very well spent, and usually lasts for a long time. It’s totally natural, and improves the drainage. We top ours up every year or two, as needed. This is dependent upon rainfall and gradient of the land.
If your slabs are bare, and you have animals on them, please seriously consider adding a topping as recommended… it really is worth it.
