Does what its supposed to. Made a foundation for a shed using this grid to hold gravel. Works like a charm. Got 3 inch. Deeper the grid, more secure and durable it is.Definitely buy Garden Staples to hold the grid in place when working alone. If you have a helepr, dont need staples but it'll definitely make it easier.Grid is a tough plastic (which is good) so cutting them is challenging. Need heavy duty scissors. I used a really sharp knife.

“OMG! This stuff is amazing!” My husband just keeps saying this and saying this as he is making our pathway that used to be a mud hole. He put down the pea gravel and there was no way it was going to stay put with dogs running through and people. So glad I found this product! It stays in place now. Will be ordering more for other projects.

We have a road that leads down a hill and the rains tend to erode the roadway that we use for our side by side - this has been a great fix! The gravel that was poured over it after it was secured with landscape staples has remained in place even after four days of torrential rains.

First time using this and I was skeptical spending a good chunk of money on it because of that. I had just moved my horses to a new area and the run in shed we use, flooded so bad and was so so sloppy. Anyone with horses knows how bad they can tear stuff up with their hooves because of how much weight is behind them. Me and my husband spent one afternoon with a box of this and a load of rock dust and made the best, most solid area my horses have ever had. We leveled the mostly dry ground up the best we could, laid down the black material and realized we needed stakes. It would be great if they sent them, but there aren't any included. Made a quick trip to TSC and bought a few bags of garden stakes, then used those to hold it in place. It takes a little doing and you want to make it all as tight and flush to the ground as possible. After it was stretched out a bit, it loosened up and we had to stretch it out more. I expected that, so just moved the stakes. One you get going, it moves easily enough. We started at one end with rock dust, and my husband hauled load after load in the wheelbarrow. We kept smoothing as we went and making sure it was all flush, so there wouldn't be any problems with it rising up or coming loose. We spent all afternoon doing it, but when we finished it was amazing and had about 4 inches of rock dust. It did settle after a few days, so we just kept adding more until it finally got all packed down and was solid. This was back in August, so it's only been a couple months now, but so far it's held up amazing and we've not had any issues. Just do yourself a favor and buy stakes ahead of time and also stretch it out and leave it for a bit then tighten again and get to work. Highly recommend. Would give 5 stars if only they'd have included stakes. It's impossible to get it flush and tight, without a lot of extra frustration in my opinion.

We built a patio for a firepit area with seating. The mesh was easy to work with and once filled with stones made a sturdy, stable and solid platform. We are planning on builing another larger platfirm next summer using the same materials and method.

I have use this product to lay down a gravel floor for an industrial “garage in a box” that I use to hold two motorcycles and some seasonal outdoor equipment, and to create two parking pads for an empty cargo trailer and an empty landscaper’s trailer. The aggregate I’m using is 1A crushed rock, which will never compact. The good news with that stuff is that it drains beautifully. The bad news is that it won’t stay in place, so driving over it is guaranteed to push ruts into the gravel. This terra-grid product holds the gravel in cells, and ruts don’t form. It’s reasonably straightforward to stake it out with rebar J-hooks and to fill it up. I got a couple of helpers to put down the floor of the garage, and I must admit that it’s an easier job with more than one person, but I did the next two trailer pads myself, using the J-hooks first to establish the corners, then stretching it out sideways in four-foot sections using more hooks. That gave me a constantly enlarging solid pad to drive wheelbarrows and my garden tractor on, and I could fill the entire pad four feet at a time. I did find it difficult to keep the front edge of the grid uniformly held down, but that’s partly because it’s hard to drive enough J-hooks into the particular bearing soil I’m dealing with, which has a lot of coarse rock fill already present. Based on the loads I needed to support for my applications, the 2-inch depth is sufficient, but if you want to build a pad for a truck or something heavier, the deeper cells will probably serve you better.

I’ve paid the big money for Lighthoof grids in the past but needed erosion control for a steep hill in my horse paddock track and thought I’d give these a try. Twice as big for a third of the price so my expectations weren’t high, but actually turned out to be a quality product that installed fairly easy and did the trick. Only time will tell if they hold up to heavy rains and winter, but so far I’m pleased.
