HoofGrid and HoogGrid HD, the original equestrian grid system, permanently solve your muddy paddocks problems. The most successful soil stabilization system in Europe, widely tested and applied worldwide for years, is now available to the American livestock and equine industries.

|
Load-bearing capacity - up to 35 tons/ square foot.
|
The problem . . .
No more muddy paddocks, turnouts or drylots. Ever!
|
How it works . . . Working on the ‘snowshoe principle,’ the grids disperse the weight of the stock over a larger surface area (effectively, 689 square inches for a four-legged animal).
|
The solution - Perfect paddocks all year round.
|
How strong was that? During installation, maintenance, or normal usage, earthmoving equipment, tractors, steamrollers or fully loaded dump trucks may be driven on top of the grids.
|
Because the entire systems interlocks,
for the horse or steer to sink into the mud, theoretically it would need to weigh about 160,000 lbs. or more.
|
Permanently retire from your paddock improvement career,
and forever forget the ‘spread 6-12 inches of gravel and replace regularly’ system. The grids permanently separate the top layer from the ground sub-base, preventing intermingling of the layers. In many conditions, no foundation work is required. In the rest, much less stone is required, and never needs replaced!
|
Strong and flexible! The system is manufactured from 100 % recyled PE (Polyethylene). It is able to withstand climate extremes from -58 to +194 degrees Fahrenheit while remaining flexible.
|
|
No special equipment required,
Often only a one-man-job.

HoofGrid or Heavy Duty HoofGrid HD ?
Hoof-Grid: 1/3 meter square X 3 cm. High
Certified LOAD = 22.45 Tons / axle
HoofGrid HD: 1/3 meter square X 5 cm. High
Certified LOAD = 22.45 Tons / axle
Compressive Strength = 35.84 tons / sq ft*
(*When correctly installed. For all practical purposes, stock cannot damage Hoof-Grid without using power tools )
For most equestrian applications the standard Hoof-Grid is sufficient. Some climates may require HoofGrid HD. In those cases requiring heavy-duty grids, the extra cost per units is often offset by the decreased: foundation work (sub-base), top layer and maintenance requirements.
