How much gravel do I need?
Please use this gravel calculator to calculate how much gravel you will need for your ground reinforcement grids. The grids can be filled with a wide range of materials including soil, grass, grass seed, gravels, stones and more. For our 40mm grids, we recommend using 5-25mm angular stone gravel and for our 50mm grids we recommend using 5-30mm angular stone gravel.

If you chose to include a geotextile membrane, the permeable landscape membrane sheet goes down first and acts as the foundation for your greenhouse structure, while the plastic grid provides support for the soil that will go over it. All of this together makes for a sturdy and reliable base for your greenhouse.
We know how important it is to have high-quality recycled materials when building something like a greenhouse. So, we’ve made sure that our building bases are as durable as possible. We use only high-quality materials in our bases, so you can rest assured that your greenhouse will be able to stand up to the harshest weather conditions.
Protecting your garden
Greenhouse bases are an ideal way to protect your building and floor, as well as the contents, keeping them well aired and dry, due to being lifted slightly off the ground. The base provides a solid foundation for your greenhouse for longevity, all of this is important for preventing building joint stresses and movements and causing structural damage.
The grid bases can also be used as ground grid matting to protect paths, lawns and driveways. Vehicles and foot traffic can pass over them without any movement, preventing your grass from being ruined and helping to keep gravel neat and tidy.

Safety features
Our greenhouse bases comply with sustainable-urban-drainage-solutions (S.U.D.S) regulations, which means you can be confident that your base is up to code.
Our high-strength plastic base product has passed all necessary testing, so that we can be confident in supplying you with a product I that will withstand all conditions it may face.
The recycled plastic material is injection moulded, which means that it’s made from a blend of various polymers, that we’ve tested over the years to perfect the blend to give the grid incredible strength and flexibility. Its UV-stable too, and so it will not fade or break down over the period you’ll need it to perform for, so you don’t have to worry about replacements or repairs on your greenhouse base in the near or even quite long term future. We expect these to outlast 25 years plus.

What are S.U.D.S
S.U.D.S infoEcodeck are proud to offer a sustainable solution to SuDS. SuDS are a nature-based solution to drainage problems. They reduce the impact of rainfall, for example by using grassed and other permeable surfaces, creating rain gardens, or building attenuation ponds in order to reduce the potential for surface water or river flooding. The excess rainfall is captured and then slowly filtered into the ground.
