How to Choose the Right Grid for Your Project

EcoGrid E30

Best for: footpaths, cycle routes, gardens, emergency access

E30 is a light duty grid designed mainly for pedestrian areas, with capacity for occasional light vehicles. It installs quickly and is easy to handle, making it suitable for landscaping projects where speed and simplicity matter.

Use E30 where loading is low and the aim is surface protection rather than structural reinforcement.

EcoGrid E40

Best for: driveways, car parks, access roads

E40 is the most commonly specified grid for domestic and light commercial use. It handles cars, vans and light lorries and works well with gravel or resin bound finishes.

If you are building a standard driveway or parking area, E40 is usually the correct starting point.

EcoGrid S50

Best for: paddocks, campsites, soft landscaping

S50 is a flexible grid designed to cope with movement and softer ground conditions. Its elasticity makes it suitable for equestrian and leisure areas where comfort and durability are both important.

Choose S50 where ground conditions vary or where animal traffic is involved.

EcoGrid E50

Best for: HGV access roads, lay-bys, straight runs

E50 is designed for high loads in areas where vehicles move in straight lines. It provides strong reinforcement without the extra depth needed for turning zones.

Often used on industrial sites or combined with other grids to control costs.

EcoGrid E80

Best for: HGV turning areas, logistics yards, airfields

E80 is the heaviest grid in the standard range. It is designed for extreme loads and repeated turning movements where shear forces are highest.

Use E80 only where needed. Many sites combine E80 in turning zones with E50 in straight runs to balance performance and budget.

EcoGrid BLOXX

Best for: car parks, pathways, mixed-use areas

BLOXX is a hybrid system that combines grid reinforcement with decorative inserts such as concrete, granite or rubber. It connects directly to E50, allowing changes in surface finish without breaking continuity.

Use BLOXX where appearance matters as much as strength.

EcoGrid TR40

Best for: riding arenas with moisture control

TR40 is designed to retain water within the structure, helping maintain consistent arena conditions and reduce dust. It supports regular equestrian use while improving surface stability.

EcoGrid TP40

Best for: paddocks, stables, wash bays, farm access

TP40 is built for repeated animal traffic and wet conditions. It is easy to clean and performs well in high-wear agricultural environments.

EcoGrid X30

Best for: sub-base stabilisation, excavation protection

X30 is installed below the surface to reinforce the sub structure. It is used where ground strength is poor or where long term stability is required under paving or slabs.
