Separating Layers and base

A separating layer has to be filter-stable against the tread layer above and the sub base below. Without an additional filter layer the separating layer prevents the mixing of tread layer and support layer. Separating layers have to permeable to water, frost-proof, shock-resistant and shock-absorbing.

The System

The mats are laid out in rows with approximately 1/2 " space between the mats over a sub-base of gravel. By the ridge structure on the bottom the mats will stay securely in place and anchor securely. Excess water will drain through the small holes. The mats have a water reservoir on the top side that is able to deliver water to the footing from below over time while the underside ensures highly-efficient drainage of rainwater. The knob system on the upper side of the mat increases the stability of the footing mixture. Adding the layer of high quality sand mixed with innoReit-tex® geotextiles from Germany will guarantee you the spring of an Olympic arena at home. It has been tested at the highest levels of equestrian sport and proven itself for several years.
