Product Description

Rubbagrass® rubber grass mats provide a professional solution for protecting natural grass in high-traffic environments. Designed for playgrounds, golf courses, landscaping, temporary access roads, and public spaces, our grass protection mats combine strength, flexibility, and sustainability.

Trusted across the UK and Europe, Rubbagrass® mats preserve turf health while ensuring a safe, non-slip surface for pedestrians and vehicles.

As the name suggests, our RubbaGrass® mats are mainly used on grass. However, due to its versatility and high-quality materials, they can be used in various environments. We regularly supply these mats for use at: ice rinks, ski slopes, pathways, events for ground protection and even in bars and kitchens. Aside from fall protection, these mats offer slip resistance, anti-fatigue properties, drainage holes for wet areas or spillage zones, and ground reinforcement.

The RubbaGrass® Difference

Rubbagrass® mats are weather-resistant and perform reliably throughout the year. They remain flexible in cold temperatures and stable in heat, making them suitable for year-round outdoor use.

The unique, permeable design provides excellent drainage, preventing water pooling and mud formation, and keeping surfaces usable, even during heavy rain.

After the matting has been installed, grass will begin to grow through the holes. In time, the grass can hide the mats almost entirely. This enables you to greatly increase safety while also maintaining the natural look of your outdoor area.

Grasshield®

Grasshield grass reinforcement mesh is the ideal solution for providing protection to grassy areas that are prone to wear or waterlogging. Where you want to preserve the look of the grass in areas that are used by pedestrians, such as access routes and walkways, Grasshield mesh is essential. It is also perfect for play areas and parks as it still allows the grass to grow through. You can easily install our Grasshield ground reinforcement mesh under the RubbaGrass® mats to provide additional strength and stability.

Grass Mats Europe are now holding stock of Grasshield® in our European warehouse to complement the grass mats.

Fixing Pegs and Ties

We always suggest installing our RubbaGrass® safety mats using our secure barbed plastic pegs that will sit inside the holes of the mat. This ensures that the matting remains in place during periods of heavy footfall and adverse weather conditions. We advise using between 4-8 pegs per mat around the outer perimeter of the matting as standard. We also offer a heavy duty metal version for harder ground conditions, which can be installed using a drill and chuck.

We also recommend black cable ties for use with our RubbaGrass® mats. Using the cables, you can connect adjacent mats to form a large solid structure. This will reduce movement underfoot and prolong the life of the product. All of our cable ties offer great heat-resistant properties making them ideal for outdoor use in all conditions. Able to withstand temperatures ranging from -35°C to 85°C, not even the most frosty winters and harsh summers will degrade the product. The cable ties also offer acid and erosion control, making them suitable for a range of applications.

Rubber Matting Connectors

Our rubber matting connectors provide a flexible, durable and reusable solution to plastic connectors and cable ties. The flexibility of our rubber connectors enable them to effortlessly slot into any ring matting. Once in place, the connectors can hold multiple mats together, even during heavy footfall.  You can also pop the connectors back out to separate and store the matting. We manufacture our rubber connectors from a combination of Natural Rubber and SBR compounds. This ensures that our connectors provide high levels of strength and tear resistance. They are also suitable for use in interior and exterior applications in temperatures as low as -20°C. This enables you to use our connectors in virtually any environment, unlike PVC connectors that can become brittle.
