Protect turf, driveways, and soft ground with an instant, tool-free interlocking protection system. Designed for light vehicle access, landscaping works, and pedestrian walkways, the GroundShield Interlock 20 system connects seamlessly to form a continuous, non-slip protective surface over soft or uneven terrain.
Key Features & Technical Advantages
- Tool-Free Interlocking Edge: Built-in puzzle-profile edges snap together without separate fixings, creating a flat, seamless pathway with zero gaps.
- 20-Tonne Load Support: Distributes weight evenly from light commercial vans, turf machinery, and heavy foot traffic to prevent rutting and soil compaction.
- High-Traction Tread: Moulded raised-square surface profile provides excellent grip for boots and tyres—preventing wheel spin on wet grass slopes, embankments, and access ramps.
- Compact & Portable: Features integrated handholds and a compact 80 x 120cm profile weighing 22kg for fast, single-person setup and transport.
- 100% Recycled PVC: Impervious to rain, frost, oils, grease, and site chemicals for low maintenance and long service life. Easily washed down with a stiff brush or pressure washer.
- Optional Ramped Bevel Edges: Compatible male and female interlocking ramped edges (39.5 x 10cm) are available separately to create a smooth, trip-free transition for wheeled equipment and pedestrians.
- Coverage Calculator: Each tile covers 0.96m² (80cm x 120cm). Simply divide your total square meterage by 0.96 to calculate the exact number of tiles required for your project.
Ideal Applications
- Landscaping & Grounds Maintenance: Shield manicured lawns, borders, and golf greens during garden alterations or tree works.
- Events & Pedestrian Pathways: Safe, mud-free footpaths for outdoor shows, markets, marquee access, and weddings.
- Light Duty Driveway Crossovers: Protect block paving and turf from light delivery vans and site transport.
Note: Ground beneath the matting must be structurally sound and free from significant depressions (such as potholes) to ensure optimal load distribution.
