The open cell structure design of the EQUIDECK 500 grid (X49 individual 70mm square pockets per grid) allows for neat compact and stable finish.
Not only do the grids open cell structure provide extra walls of stability they also prevent lateral and downward migration and disruption of your chosen infill material.
For best results we would suggest to oner-fill by 20+ mm as this will compact over a short period of time to become firm and stable, and to use either a suitable sand, rubber, soil or an appropriate aggregate. The grids allow size tolerances of 5mm to 35mm maximum to fill up the cells.
The EQUIDECKS modular design means the system can be added too at any time. With a simple and easy lateral jigsaw like push-lock fixing.
The EQUIDECK is a high strength, UV stable, recycled, injection moulded plastic grid that is compression tested to a ‘minimum’ 500 tonne / SQM load test rating.
EQUIDECK minimises the construction work needed to provide a safe supportive surface for equine use, from ménages, schools, arenas and even large public equine events. It provides a permanent, maintenance- free, safe and supportive winter riding surface solution.
The grids can also be installed in areas for over flow car parking, and access routes for maintenance vehicles too.
EQUIDECK – HORSE EQUESTRIAN GROUND STABILITY GRIDS
The Equideck grid is ideal for multiple areas of use for horse & equestrian yards, such as ménage, paddocks, horse feeding stations, and everyday areas such as horse walkers too. Below are some other commonly known applications too for the Equideck grids.
- Riding arenas
- Lunging arenas
- Exercise areas
- Horse mounting zones
- Feeding stations
- Stables & Stable yards
- Riding school access lanes & tracks
Whilst the grids are very tough and robust, they are also semi flexible to be kind on your horses’ hooves.
Being permeable, they can be used as grass grids too and so they can be used for access runs to fields and gateways as well as general stable yard surface support.
WHY USE EQUIDECK?
Our grid is quite unique to most others on the market, the lattice web in the bottom of every cell reduces both downward movement of the infill material, and also reduces upward migration of mud & soil and dust from below, meaning it stays more compact for a safer and stable surface whilst remaining neat too. And guaranteed to be fit for its purpose for 25 years!
The grids are so simple and quick to install, 1 person can lay 100 square metres in around 1 hour.
As well as being the manufacturer of our products, we are also the main supplier of the products, and so our extensive knowledge is key to being able to provide you with the right product and the right information for your grass & gravel grid needs. And at unbeatable prices!

Our EQUIDECK model is one of our most popular 500mm x 500mm x 40mm sized grids and provides exceptional equestrian and sports surface solutions. They are suitable for various domestic to light industrial surface reinforcement applications including stable yards & all equestrian uses as stated. The permeable open cell structure design of the EQUIDECK suitably allows for sand, soil and grass seed, rubber & many gravels for infilling – providing a permanent, maintenance- free, safer and more supportive surface for all equine use as well as providing a less interrupted winter riding season too. The EQUIDECKS open cell structure also prevents lateral and downward migration and disruption of the infill material, as the pocketed design neatly encases and compacts the chosen material. Part of our permeable paving range as it complies with the S.U.D.S. regulations, (sustainable urban drainage solutions).

What are S.U.D.S
S.U.D.S infoEcodeck are proud to offer a sustainable solution to SuDS. SuDS are a nature-based solution to drainage problems. They reduce the impact of rainfall, for example by using grassed and other permeable surfaces, creating rain gardens, or building attenuation ponds in order to reduce the potential for surface water or river flooding. The excess rainfall is captured and then slowly filtered into the ground.
