Compact the sub-base with MOT Type 1 or similar aggregate. Lay weed control fabric — place water-permeable woven weed control fabric over the base to prevent weed growth and stabilise the surface. Click grids together — TrueGrid uses a proven interlocking connection system. Simply click each grid into the next, working row by row. Cut to fit edges — use a hand saw or jigsaw to trim grids to fit around borders and obstacles. Fill the cells — fill with your chosen material: grass turf, gravel, pea shingle, soil, or sand depending on your application. Compact and finish — lightly compact the fill material and the installation is complete. For vehicle use, ensure the sub-base is adequately compacted to support the intended load. Consult a groundworks professional for heavy-duty applications. 🌿 Environmentally Friendly TrueGrid is manufactured entirely from waste plastic diverted from landfill and is 100% recyclable at end of life. Its porous design supports natural drainage and is fully SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) compliant — ideal for planning applications that require permeable surfacing.
