Product Details
What is Portapath Event Flooring?
Portapath is a portable, interlocking event flooring system engineered for use on grass and soft ground surfaces. Each panel connects via a patented ‘living hinge’ mechanism that allows rapid installation and removal without tools, machinery or specialist labour. It is one of the fastest-to-deploy temporary flooring solutions on the market, a small crew can cover 8,000 square metres in a matter of hours.
The system distributes weight evenly across its surface, protecting the grass beneath from foot traffic, vehicle movement and compaction. When removed, the turf is left undamaged and in a condition suitable for immediate reuse, a critical requirement for stadium venues, heritage sites and event grounds that host multiple events each year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can Portapath event flooring be installed?
A small team can install up to 8,000 square metres of Portapath flooring in just a few hours. The patented ‘living hinge’ click-together system requires no tools or specialist labour, making it one of the fastest temporary event flooring systems available.
Will Portapath damage the grass underneath?
No. Portapath is specifically designed to protect turf and prevent soil compaction. When the flooring is removed after an event, the grass beneath remains undamaged and in a condition suitable for immediate reuse. This makes it the preferred choice for stadiums, sports venues and heritage grounds.
Is Portapath suitable for wheelchair users?
Yes. Portapath provides a stable, level surface suitable for wheelchair users and guests with mobility requirements. It meets the accessibility needs of outdoor events and can be used to create compliant temporary walkways across grass or uneven terrain.
Can I hire Portapath rather than buy it?
We do not currently have this product available for hire – it’s only available for purchase.
What size events is Portapath suitable for?
Portapath scales to events of any size — from small corporate garden parties and marquee weddings through to large music festivals and full stadium floor coverings. The modular panel system allows you to cover exactly the area you need, with no waste.
How does Portapath compare to other temporary event flooring systems?
