Is there an access pathway in your local area that is muddy, uneven and destined to cause an accident? We spotted one such place in the village of Hempnall, Norfolk, where a decrepit pathway at the local tennis club needed immediate attention. Armed with Geo-Grid and a couple of days to do it, the Floorbox team set about transforming it using our temporary flooring know-how. Here’s how the very first Floorbox project took shape.

Out with the old tarmac

Visitors using tennis courts, club and local play area were forced to walk along some battered old tarmac path when they arrived in the car park. It took our team of two a day to put up the Banzai Barriers and then pull up the existing pathway. Once that area was excavated and levelled, we were ready for phase two. Could a temporary flooring solution as simple as roll out pathway do the job?

In with the new pathway

To prepare the ground, we needed to lay some type one base to allow adequate drainage for the pathway. With that in place, we started laying the Geo-Grid temporary flooring mats. We’d levelled the ground as best we could, but thanks to Geo-Grid’s awesome rubber nodule feature, once in situ, the mats became all but self-levelling. Predictably, the shape of the path wasn’t exactly straight. But Geo-Grid mats are easy to cut to fit using a circular saw, so there was no drama there either.

A quick fit long term well-drained path solution – GeoGrid

Ta-da!

Hempnall Tennis Club decided to go for a stone finish. So once the Geo-Grid was in place, we finished the pathway by filling it with their gravel of choice. Now the tennis club visitors, families heading to the playground and would-be Wimbledon champions can all use the new pathway. The investment of time and money was minimal, the results are marvellous.

The finished path will give Hempnall Tennis club a long-term safe and well-drained pathway for many years to come.
