GrassRoll Extra Grass Reinforcement Mat 2x10m up to 7.5t

Professional solution for demanding parking

The GrassRoll Extra grass reinforcement mat with a load capacity of 7.5 t and dimensions of 2x10 m represents the most powerful model in our range of this type. The profile, with a thickness of 14.5 mm and a weight of 2 kg/m², was designed for areas with regular impact loads. It is the ideal choice for stable parking lots, access roads, or intensively used grass areas where ordinary meshes fail.

This system ensures the natural green appearance of the landscape while offering sufficient strength for both passenger and commercial vehicles without the need for extensive excavation work or concreting.

Why choose GrassRoll Extra?

GrassRoll Extra is not just an ordinary mesh. It is an engineered system that combines extreme durability with simple handling. Here are the reasons why it is the best choice for your parking area:

• Extreme load capacity of up to 7.5 tons: Handles not only passenger cars but also heavier SUVs and vans (axle load).
• No digging or excavation: Save on earthworks – it is installed directly on the existing lawn.
• Safe walking: The unique oscillating structure (3D profile) ensures better traction and prevents slipping, even when the grass is wet.
• Preserving greenery: Unlike concrete pavers, it does not overheat and dry out the grass in summer, keeping the area naturally green.
• Easy installation: Simply unroll the mat, let it settle, and then apply it - quick and easy, no effort required.
• Ecological and sustainable: Made from recycled polymers and fully permeable to water (SuDS compatible).
• Certification: One of the few mats certified for parking on grass without replacing the subsoil.

Unique structure and durability

The GrassRoll grass reinforcement mat is made of chemically non-aggressive, recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Its specific oscillating structure is not just an aesthetic feature – it was designed to increase traction and slip resistance.

The grid protects the grass root system from direct contact with wheels, preventing soil compaction and the formation of ruts. The material is UV-stabilized, guaranteeing a long service life even when exposed to direct sunlight.

• High tensile strength (14 kN/m).
• Resistance to rot and biological influences.
• Environmentally friendly (100% recyclable).

Where can you use GrassRoll Extra?

Thanks to its exceptional load capacity (up to 7.5 tons per axle on a solid base), GrassRoll Extra is designed for the most demanding applications among grass reinforcement mats. It is a perfect solution for places that need to withstand more than just occasional traffic.

In addition to parking lots, the mat is also suitable for reinforcing surfaces at events and festivals, or as an access road for maintenance vehicles in parks and gardens.

• Permanent and temporary parking lots.
• Access roads to houses and garages.
• Areas for caravans and campsites.
• Barrier-free access for wheelchairs.

Step 1: Preparing the terrain is key

A quality base is the foundation of the system's long life and functionality. The surface must be level, firm, and able to drain water. Before installation, we recommend mowing the existing lawn as short as possible, or locally reseeding grass seed.

Any bumps, holes, or depressions must be leveled by filling with sandy soil (a mixture of sand and clay) and compacted. If the base is waterlogged or unstable, it must first be reinforced (e.g., with a gravel bed), otherwise the mat will not function properly.

Step 2: Unrolling the Grassroll

Since GrassRoll is supplied in rolls, it tends to curl after unpacking. Before anchoring, it is essential to unroll the mat at its intended location and let it "rest" for at least 1 hour so it regains its natural flatness.

The ambient temperature significantly affects the time needed for flattening – in cold weather this can take longer. We recommend loosely securing the corners with stakes so the mat does not shift while it "acclimatizes". Only once the mat has flattened out should you proceed with final anchoring using pins.

Step 3: Anchoring technique for maximum stability

Firm anchoring is the most important part of the installation. For one roll (2m x 10m), it is recommended to use at least 60 steel U-pins, which are included in the package. From experience, it is advisable to use double the number of steel pins.

Recommended anchoring pattern:

• Outer edges: Anchor every 300–350 mm.
• Center of the area: Create a "chevron" pattern in 3 rows, with a spacing of 500 mm across the width and a maximum of 750 mm along the length.
• Drive the pins parallel to the mesh cells so they do not protrude and damage the mower blades during mowing.

Step 4: Joining rolls and important details

When installing several rolls next to each other, never overlap them. Lay the mats tightly against each other. Fix the joint with one row of pins that captures the edges of both adjacent mats at once.

Watch out for temperature: Plastic reacts to temperature changes. If you install the mat in cold weather, leave a gap of approximately 10-15 mm between individual rolls. This expansion gap allows the material to expand during hot summer days without the surface buckling.

Care after installation and use

After anchoring, you can lightly dust the surface with sandy soil to level out small depressions, but the mat must not be completely covered. For the best result, we recommend not loading the area with cars during the growing season, approximately 6-8 weeks, until the grass grows through the grid.

If immediate use is necessary, it is possible, but expect reduced traction when wet and slower grass growth. Mowing proceeds as standard, however for the first 3 to 4 mowings, set the mower blades to a higher level.
