Description

Get paths and paths made with natural gravel with the comfort of a concrete path. Comfortable for walking, bicycles and even wheelchairs but with the natural look of a gravel path.

Features of geocell stabilizer for gravel

Plates made with 100% recycled ECO material.

50.5x58 cm modules with 5x5 cm hexagonal geocells and 3 cm height. 

4 plates make up 1.17 m².

Supports up to 1,750 KN/M2 with gravel filling for temperatures from -50C to +50С.

Load class B125 up to 12,500kg with filling

The amount of stone needed is obtained by calculating 60 kg. of gravel per m², it is recommended that it be gravel and not pebbles, so that it compacts better.

The ideal gravel size is between 6 and 16 mm, any gravel within that range is valid.

Advantages of gravel stabilizer

  • Easy installation, little effort.
  • Affordable price, much more comfortable and practical garden paths.
  • The pieces are joined together very simply thanks to the “click” tabs.
  • Draining paths avoid the creation of annoying puddles.

Placement of rigid gravel stabilizer

 Important!

Placing the gravel stabilizer is not excessively complicated, but it does require following specific steps; it is a matter of patience rather than skill.

  1. If the terrain on which you are going to place the stabilizer is dirt or grasses may grow, it is highly recommended to place a anti-grass mesh . We cut the mesh to the size of the space, stretch it well and secure it with fastening staples so it doesn't move.
  2. Later we place the plates on the mesh and secure them around the entire perimeter with staples until it perfectly occupies the entire surface.
  3. We begin to fill the cells with gravel, first filling a section and then we can add more gravel on top of that section and push it towards the empty cells. From this moment on, work is easier and faster.
  4. Once we have filled the entire stabilizer, it is recommended to add 5 mm more gravel, so that the stabilizer is not visible.
  5. It is recommended to step on the gravel well, if we have a roller that is heavy it would be perfect, but if we do not have one we can put a board and stand on it to gradually step on the ground, in this way the gravel will be compacted very well and we will achieve the comfortable effect we are looking for.

If you do not know the product or have doubts about whether you are going to place it correctly, we recommend ordering a single pack for now and trying it out, the investment is not very large and the effect that is achieved once it is placed is very pleasant and practical.

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the ground?

For shot and gravel song:
• ± 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For granulometries> 32mm a thicker layer is necessary.• Saca consumption: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ± 12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For pine cortex:
• ± 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000L = ± 1m³ = ± 600kg
• Covering capacity: ± 14m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For volcanic, slate and chamota:
• ± 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000kg = ± 1m³
• Covering capacity: ± 20m² with a layer of 5 cm

How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?

Density of ± 1,650kg by 1m³.

The calculation is very simple to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gav. You have to make the following accounts:
1x0.5x0,3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg. stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since the gavions when filling them are a little and always enters some more stone than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

Granulometries are sizes of sizes

Real sizes can vary slightly, since when talking, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through a square mesh of 80x80mm. and do not go through a 60x60mm.
This 80x80 mesh can pass a 100mm stone. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.

Broken stones

On the other hand, in the stones of more than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% stones that can be broken during classification, washing, loading and downloading, today we have no machinery that avoids those breaks.

In the photos you can see, only real products are seen, broken pieces have been removed.

Dust and sand in products

This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will be washed alone over time or can throw water before using it.
