22mm Outdoor Safety Matting for Play and Garden Areas

Outdoor play areas, swing zones, and garden pathways often suffer from repeated foot traffic. Over time, grass can become worn, muddy, and uneven, especially around equipment where children step, land, or walk in the same places every day. This 12 pack of 22mm hollow safety mats is designed to help protect outdoor ground while creating a more practical surface for everyday use.

Each mat measures 1m x 1.5m, making the pack suitable for covering larger areas or creating separate protected sections around play equipment, gateways, walkways, wash areas, and garden access routes. The 22mm thickness provides a more substantial surface than thinner options, giving improved cushioning and support for high-use outdoor spaces.

Designed for Use Under Playground Equipment

Swing areas and play frames can place extra pressure on the ground beneath them. Regular movement can quickly damage grass, especially in wet conditions. These mats help protect the surface by spreading pressure across a wider area and reducing direct wear on the ground underneath.

The hollow design allows grass to grow through the openings when fitted over suitable ground. This helps the area remain more natural-looking while still adding a protective matting layer. For play equipment areas, the matting should always be installed on a properly prepared surface and checked regularly to make sure it remains secure and level.

Hollow Structure for Drainage and Ground Stability

The open cellular structure allows rainwater, mud, and loose debris to drain through instead of collecting on top. This makes the mats useful in wet and dry outdoor conditions, particularly in gateways, garden paths, paddock entrances, and areas where standing water or mud can become a problem.

This drainage-friendly design also helps keep the surface more usable after rainfall. It does not replace proper ground preparation, but it can help reduce muddy patches and make outdoor areas easier to walk across during regular use.

Practical Coverage for Larger Outdoor Spaces

This 12 mat pack is suitable for users who need more than a small single-mat solution. The flat edges allow multiple mats to be positioned side by side, helping create wider coverage for play areas, pathways, boat access points, canoe areas, wash-down zones, and general ground protection.

The mats can be secured with suitable ground pegs where needed. Fixings are especially useful in areas exposed to regular movement, uneven pressure, or wind uplift. Correct installation helps the mats stay in position and reduces the chance of raised edges.

Suitable for Wet, Dry, and Multi-Use Areas

These mats are made for outdoor use and are suitable for both wet and dry environments. They can be used on flat or gently contoured landscapes, depending on the condition of the ground and the intended use.

Their multi-purpose nature makes them useful beyond play areas. They can support pathways, reduce mud at gateways, protect grass in high-traffic zones, and provide a drainable surface for wash areas. The 22mm depth also adds a more cushioned feel compared with thinner grass protection mats.

Installation and Maintenance Guidance

Before installation, the ground should be cleared of sharp debris, large stones, and uneven raised areas. The mats should sit as flat as possible to reduce movement and avoid trip points. Where several mats are placed together, edges should be aligned carefully for a neater and safer layout.

Maintenance is straightforward. The mats can be rinsed, brushed, or lifted when needed for ground checks. Because the hollow pattern allows liquid and debris to drain through, regular inspection is useful to make sure the openings remain clear and the matting stays properly positioned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these 22mm mats suitable for swing areas?

Yes, these mats are suitable for use around swing areas and outdoor play equipment where ground protection and cushioning are needed. They should be installed on a suitable prepared surface and checked regularly to make sure they remain flat, secure, and correctly positioned.

What is the benefit of 22mm thickness?

The 22mm thickness gives a more substantial surface than thinner grass protection mats. It provides better cushioning, improved ground coverage, and a more supportive feel in areas used regularly. This makes it useful around play equipment, muddy gateways, and high-traffic outdoor spaces.

Can grass grow through these mats?

Yes, the hollow cellular structure allows grass to grow through the openings when the mats are fitted over suitable ground. This helps protect the surface while keeping a more natural appearance. Results depend on soil condition, grass health, weather, and regular maintenance.

Can these mats help with muddy gateways?

Yes, these mats can help reduce mud build-up in gateways and other high-use outdoor areas. The open design lets water and loose debris drain through, while the mat structure helps stabilise the ground surface and reduce direct wear from repeated foot traffic.

How are the mats fixed in place?

The mats can be secured with suitable ground pegs where required. Pegging is recommended in areas where movement, slopes, wind exposure, or regular use could cause the mats to shift. The exact fixing method should match the surface and the intended use area.

Are they suitable for wet areas?

Yes, they are suitable for wet and dry outdoor areas. The hollow pattern allows water to drain through instead of sitting on top, making them practical for wash-down spaces, pathways, boat access points, canoe areas, and exposed garden areas.

What does BS EN 1177:1998 mean for this product?

BS EN 1177:1998 is listed as the standard reference for this product. For playground use, the full installation should still be assessed properly, including equipment height, ground preparation, mat positioning, and any local safety requirements.

Are the mats easy to maintain?

Yes, maintenance is simple. The mats can be rinsed, brushed, and checked periodically to remove dirt, mud, or trapped debris. Regular inspection helps ensure the openings remain clear and the mats stay secure, especially in busy play or gateway areas.
