Introduction to GR11 Mesh
Introduction to GR11 Mesh
XSuregreen GR11 Standard Grass Reinforcement Matting allows grassed areas to be turned in to parking spots or to protect grassed areas from either cars or frequent pedestrian movement without causing unwanted long term damage.
The typical uses of Suregreen GR11 would be infrequent or occasional use overflow car parks, domestic off street parking or driveways, disabled access across grass and heavily used pedestrian walkways.
Suregreen GR11 Standard Grass Reinforcement Matting works by giving structure and support to existing grass. The matting is pinned down on top of the grass, and the grass is then allowed and encouraged – by regular cutting – to grow through and entangle with the matting. When full entanglement is achieved the matting will be at its optimum strength. At this point the matting will have disappeared into the grass and will be ready for use. The GR11 protects the grass root structure by greatly reducing over compaction and rutting allowing the grass to survive and recover.
Using our 20 years of experience in ground reinforcement solutions Suregreen GR11 Standard Grass Reinforcement Matting is now made to a unique design that is particularly suited to the task of both supporting and entanglement of the grass, offering superior protection. Also the plastics used are UV stable, chemically inert and once installed correctly the mesh will have a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years.
Suregreen GR11 Grass Reinforcement Matting works best on flat, even and self-draining soils. Also it should be laid directly onto existing established maintained grass. Please contact our technical team to confirm the site conditions and intended use of the matting would bring the best out of the GR11 matting.
Suregreen GR11 generally does not need planning permission.
Suregreen GR11 is suitable to be used as part of SuDS - the latest government guidelines regarding flood prevention. The matting allows full permeability into the natural water aquafer.

Product Info:
GR11 grass reinforcement mesh provides strong, permanent protection by reinforcing existing grass areas against traffic damage from small vehicles and pedestrians. This medium-grade mesh has been designed to allow prolonged summer and winter use of grass parking areas whilst maintaining the visually aesthetic appeal of the area.
GR11 grass reinforcement mesh has been specially designed to allow quick and maximum grass entanglement, giving good structure and encouraging the mesh to visually disappear into the grass after regrowth. The plastic mesh has also been designed with an oscillated structure providing enhanced anti-slip properties whilst retaining the necessary resistance to damaging traffic movements.
Like all Suregreen ground reinforcement solutions, GR11 grass reinforcement mesh is compliant for SuDS Source Control (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems).
Applications:
- Domestic car parking requirements
- Infrequently used overflow grass car parks
- Allowing off-road parking on grass verges
- Disabled (DDA) wheelchair access routes and paths
- Access to grass areas normally closed off to trafficking
- 2m x 20m Roll - 150 Pins
- 2m x 10m Roll - 100 Pins
- 1m x 10m Roll - 50 Pins
- 2.5m x 5m Roll - 50 Pins
Features & Benefits:
- Grass reinforcement for small vehicles on stable ground
- Grass protection mesh is ideal for permanent applications
- Fast to install, cost-effective and suitable for domestic driveways or infrequent commercial parking needs
- Mesh is laid and fixed directly to the existing surface - no soil removal or excavation required!
- Slip-resistant mesh structure - this slip resistance can also be improved by adding a thin layer of sand on the mesh to provide increased grip and traction
- Prevents grass wear, rutting and mud caused by cars and traffic
- An environmentally conscious alternative to impermeable paved surfaces
- Allows for a natural grassed traffic route where planning restrictions are applied or where cost savings are being considered
- Ideal for use in Source Control applications as part of a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS)
Technical Information:
GR11 grass reinforcement mesh is quick and easy to install - simply roll out over the existing grass and fix in place using Suregreen’s Premium U-pins. Once the mesh has been pinned down, we advise that you allow a sufficient amount of time for the grass to grow through the mesh and take hold. It's this process of the grass taking hold of the mesh that gives it strength. If trafficked too early, it can cause sinking, bumps or even damage. We advise not using the mesh until you have had to mow the grass at least once.
The suitability and success of using grass reinforcement mesh depends on a number of factors including the frequency of use, type of traffic, nature of the soil and drainage. Grass reinforcement mesh is more suitable to be used on heavy clay/loam soils.
Please note that the load-bearing capacity and other specifications stated are reliant on ground conditions and our installation guides being followed. We ask that you consult one of our technical team before purchasing if you are concerned about any of the information stated.
