Surface Additives

About our Additives

All our additives are designed to be mixed in to the top 2-3 inches of a sand base or existing surface, to improve stability, cushioning and reduce the depth of ride condition.
The fibres also help trap valuable moisture to keep base sands firm.

The additives can be installed using a spring tine harrow to spread them then a stone burier to mix them in to the sand making several passes to ensure even mixing.

Once an even mix has been achieved the surface should be irrigated and rolled. The more water and rolling done on installation the faster the surface will settle. All dry sand and fibre or sand and rubber surfaces require irrigation during dry periods to keep the base sand firm, prevent the surface from riding deep and to reduce the risk of the sand and additive from separating.

If a surface is very dry it is advisable not to harrow as this will pull the fibres out of the sand. Simply roll the surface with a flat roll, and try to irrigate the surface before harrowing again.

The quantities quoted below are based on installation into a 4 inch (100mm) sand base. These quantities may need to be increased if the sand used is of a soft loose nature, or if an existing surface requires a top up, quantities may be less.
