Heavy Duty Mud Control Plastic Slab/Size-50CMx50CMx7Kg

Mudcontrol slabs measure 50cm x 50cm x 5.3cm each, the holes are 5cm in diameter and each unit weighs just over 7kg. They can be used in two ways:  closed (holey) side up or open (grid) side up.  Both sides have their specific applications and are ideal in different situations.  

100% RECYCLED 

The more level and even the ground, the better the result.
• Lumps or rocks need to be removed.
• Holes/dips/voids need filling before laying the slabs (with soil, manure, wood chip,
pea gravel, sand, bedding etc).
• The slabs need to be evenly supported and filled in, with a substrate such as sharp
sand or a similar medium for proper installation.
• Slabs MUST be interlinked and any outside edge tabs should be covered (with dirt/
sand/etc). Broken tabs are not generally covered by the warranty.
• Small expansion gaps need to be left.
• Don't kick/push all the slabs up tightly together (full explanation and photos below).
• Staggered slabs (like bricks) are more stable than grid style.
• Think ahead...if you might want to add rows at a later date, ensure that the leading
edge is straight and not staggered (see full explanation and photos below).
• Paths of two slabs wide MUST be staggered for stability.
• A generous topping layer is essential for animal traffic, and is a requirement for
proper installation.

 PREPARATION
It's a good idea to do a bit of planning and preparation before your slabs arrive.
Laying and interlinking the slabs is very simple, but there are a few hard and fast rules
governed by physics which are important to know, as having to lift and re-lay slabs
because you made a mistake is a lot of additional effort.
First, make sure the ground is as even as possible, by flattening out any high points and
removing any big stones. The more levelled out you can get the area, the better the
final result will be. Chain harrowing or raking the ground is ideal if it's dry and lumpy or
rutted, and any dips or holes should be filled with soil, coarse sand, pea gravel, wood
chip, muck heap contents, etc. to get it even. The slabs are small enough to cope with
undulations, but not with lumps and ruts which would cause them to rock back and
forth, preventing them from interconnecting and bedding in level. We don't usually
recommend using a whacker plate or a roller before laying, as the slabs need to be
able to bed into the surface they are laid onto.
