G Force Grids Installation Guide

1. PREPARE YOUR SURFACE
Start by clearing and levelling the area where your G Force Grids will be installed. Remove debris and smooth out any uneven patches. Please note: installation is not recommended on slopes greater than 15%.

2. LAY DOWN ROAD BASE
Spread a 50–100mm layer of road base or fine gravel over the prepared area, adjusting depth based on the traffic load (light foot traffic vs. driveways). Compact thoroughly to form a stable, even foundation.

3. INSTALL GEOTEXTILE MAT (IF REQUIRED)
Place the geotextile mat across the compacted base, ensuring it lies flat without wrinkles or folds. This step helps with soil stability and drainage.

4. MEASURE & CUT THE GRIDS
Use simple tools such as a handsaw or grinder to cut G Force Grids to fit your project area. Measure carefully and trim as needed for a precise fit.

5. CLICK GRIDS INTO PLACE
The interlocking design makes installation quick and easy. Simply click each G Force Grid into the next, making sure all joins are tight and secure for a solid surface.

6. SECURE THE EDGES (IF NECESSARY)
For high-impact zones like driveways, we recommend pinning the outer perimeter with metal stakes. This prevents shifting under vehicle pressure or heavy water flow. If you are not using curbs or edge restraints, pinning is essential to maintain stability—though you only need to secure the perimeter, not every grid.

7. FILL THE GRIDS (10–15mm MATERIAL)
Once connected, fill the grids with your chosen material: gravel, crushed rock, decorative stone, soil, or turf. For high-traffic surfaces, gravel or crushed rock is best for strength and durability, while soil and grass are perfect for landscaped areas. Overfill slightly (around 15mm) so that after compaction, the G Force Grids are fully concealed. The interlocking cells lock the material firmly in place, preventing sinking or shifting over time.

8. COMPACT & FINISH
Compact the filled surface and ensure all grids are covered. Rake the area for a smooth, even finish, add extra fill where needed, and tidy the edges. Once complete, your surface will be strong, stable, and ready to use.
