Kristy, a stable hand, was looking for a product to provide stability and erosion control for her three walled equine loafing shed. She needed a reliable drainage solution that could handle the weight of her horses. After researching several options, both in stores and online, she selected Vodaland’s FarmGrid – Mud Control System.
The Challenge
Kristy wanted to ensure there was a steady base for her horses to walk on that no longer eroded, while also ensuring proper drainage occurred when it rained. She was looking for an option that did not continually erode from the hoof stomping and loafing activity of the horses. The erosion area was as deep as 20″ in places. It was also important to Kristy to have something that could handle the weight of her horses as they would be walking around on it daily.
The Solution
Kristy chose Vodaland products due to their ease of installation, price and durability. She also wanted something that would be comfortable and safe for her horses. She easily installed the product over a gravel base and filled it with very fine gravel. Made from Modified Polyethylene, Vodaland FarmGrid – Mud Control System offers a durable and eco-friendly way to stabilize the surface and prevent erosion.
The Results
Vodaland’s FarmGrid – Mud Control System completely stabilized the gravel surface, eliminated rutting and erosion while providing a comfortable and safe surface for horses. The homeowners now enjoy a maintenance free surface level base that is free of erosion and safe for the horses. “Since installing the FarmGrid system, the floor area has stayed in place with no erosion. The horses are very comfortable on it and it looks great,” said Kristy, the stable hand. “Yes, we’d recommend the FarmGrid because it’s easy to install, safe for horses, and a smart solution for erosion prevention. The shipping was very fast so we were able to install our FarmGrid just a few days after ordering it.”
