“Before, the caravan was a struggle to move – the wheels would just dig into the gravel and I’d end up fighting with it every time. Since installing Multigrid 481 and refilling with gravel, the hardstanding feels rock solid. The caravan moves easily, the gravel stays put, and I know it’s compliant with drainage regulations. It’s a much better solution than concrete or slabs.”

Simon from the Scottish Borders contacted GrassGrids seeking a long-lasting and eco-friendly solution to upgrade his worn and unstable gravel driveway. The surface had become uneven, overgrown, and difficult to maintain. Simon wanted to keep the traditional look of a rural gravel driveway but improve its strength, drainage, and kerb appeal.

Building a driveway on a slope comes with its own set of challenges. Water runoff, erosion, and surface stability are all things you have to think about. While traditional driveway materials like block paving, concrete, and tarmac have been popular for years, they are not always the best option for slopes. More and more people are turning to plastic grids, which offer a simple and effective solution for sloping driveways. When combined with gabion baskets as side retainers, this setup can solve many of the problems that come with sloping driveways.

Using plastic grids for a shed base can be beneficial for a number of reasons.

Plastic grids are lightweight and easy to handle, making them simple to transport and install. They can be cut to size and fit around any obstacles, such as tree roots or uneven ground. In contrast, slabs and concrete are heavy and difficult to manoeuvre, which can make installation more challenging.
