Hippogriff   10 #1 Posted October 7, 2019 This might be better in Property and Housing, I dunno... but my Google skills are woefully failing me today. I am looking to buy a small quantity of these semi-industrial rubber access mats that people and cars and small pieces of plant can go on... things like this - https://www.multimatts.co.uk/eurotrak/medium-duty-eurotrak/eurotrak-single-sided-access-mat-1000mm-x-3000mm-x-15mm-44kg-tt-1000300044ss - or this - https://www.multimatts.co.uk/duramatt-single-sided-access-mat-2400mm-x-1200mm-x-6mm-dura-24001200-multimatts - but although they're readily available on the Internet there's often minimum orders (usually 90 mats!) or delivery charges approaching £100 (the price of a mat)... does anyone know a place in Sheffield or surrounding areas that might sell this kind of thing, where I could maybe get a more reasonable delivery charge, or even collect (they come in 2,400mm long by 1,200mm wide too)?  Any pointers appreciated...

Arthur Ritus   30 #2 Posted October 7, 2019 Is it for grass outside? these would offer some protection and still allow water through, depends on how heavy the plant is i suppose.  https://www.toolstation.com/grass-protector-mat/p23709 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hippogriff   10 #3 Posted October 7, 2019 It is for grassed areas, yes, but this stuff isn't going to be suitable... I'm not over-specifying when I say it's the proper access mats I need. I realise some are rated to 50 tonnes, and I certainly don't need that... but this webbing / mesh won't suffice I'm afraid. I just figured somewhere in South Yorkshire would be a seller of these things... even if they're quite specialised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hippogriff   10 #5 Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) I'd seen this, but this is for laptops to sit on... not people, cars and plant. It's wholly unsuitable I'm afraid. I'm looking for the kind of things I linked to... rubber access mats... but just from somewhere more local.

Hippogriff   10 #8 Posted October 11, 2019 Thanks peeps - neither of these (certainly not matsgrids) seems to sell rubber access mats. I have written an email to RHS just to double-check though. Quite elusive... at least the answer wasn't easy... ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hippogriff   10 #9 Posted October 11, 2019 RSH has plain smooth black rubber 12.5mm thick x 1400mm wide x 10M long... which can be cut. May be of interest... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
