Hahn Plastics · Model MCG-50

The Horse Paddock Mud Control Grid is designed to eliminate mud in horse paddock areas while providing a stable surface. These ultra-reinforced grids are unique in that they do not require a substructure (compacted gravel base) and can be laid directly on the ground. This allows the grids to be moved without damage an reinstalled in another location at a future date. This is ideal for horse owners that are leasing a property and are hesitant to investing in permanent paddock reinforcement. In addition to equestrian and lifestock traffic, the grids are able to support 11,200 pounds per square foot which is adequate for car and truck parking as well.

Mud Control With Minimal Site Preparation

Site prep can be complicated, expensive and labor intensive. With the mud control grid site preparation is greatly reduced as the grids can be placed directly on top of the ground. Leasing a property? Install the grids temporary and take them with you when you move instead of investing into a property that you do not own. Mud control grids not only eliminate mud but also provide a stable surface for horse, livestock and even passenger vehicle parking. Mud management grids are made from 100% recycled plastic so they can't rot and carry a 20 year product guarantee from Hahn Plastics.

"We put down the grids during a very wet spell and now the ground is frozen solid. The horses just love standing on them out of the mud. There are 2 wooden slabs built in which I can attach a full bale net to where needed. I'm going to buy some more for next winter especially for the gate ways. I've attached a photo showing how they are working great, I leave the scattered hay to give the horses more grip and to give the barefoot horses soft standing especially in the frozen weather."
— Susanne, Maple Ridge, BC

"We are using the grids for a wash area for the horses. These are really great, heavy duty, and definitely not rubber. They will keep all of us out of the mud when giving baths. I have already recommended the grids to several folks here in Kansas that are looking for mud management systems."
— Edith, Kansas, United States

Laying Instructions

Four steps from bare ground to a stable, mud-free surface.

Step 1

Before installing the grids, a 2" gravel layer will improve support and drainage for very soft ground. A 2–4" layer of wood chips can also be used to create a flexible base.

Step 2

Mark out and level the installation area, filling any dips or depressions with granular material. For soil types like heavy clay, installing a non-woven needle-punched 3.5 oz geotextile (with 6" overlap) will prevent the gradual loss of infill material into the ground.

Step 3

Use a string line as a level and alignment guide (allowing for adjacent edging or fencing). Lay the grids along the line, leaving a ¼" gap between grids. Use the tabs on the Mud Control Grid edges for level alignment.

Step 4

It's best to stagger the grids for extra stability. To create a staggered bond, begin the second row with a half grid (grids can be cut with a skill or bench saw, just like hardwood).

Other Mud Control Solutions

Paddock Slab$19.97

When you need a strong, heavy-duty mud grid, a Paddock Slab is a perfect choice. Paddock Slabs are specifically designed for horses and can withstand the full weight of a truck.

There are several other hard plastic pavers that are basically designed for vehicles that can support equestrian traffic but only as a secondary option. These products are designed for car tires which usually provide a load of 135 psi while hoof contact with the ground will give a load of 185 psi. This can cause pavers designed for vehicles to shatter leaving sharp edges and therefore decrease the needed support. Paddock Slabs are specifically designed for equestrian traffic and are ultra-reinforced to prevent shattering. The slabs are capable of flexing more than 10% without breaking.

Paddock Slabs are designed to last a very long time providing a reinforced mud-free paddock. Paddock Slabs are designed to last for decades to come with regular use.

Mud Management Grid$260.90

An LSG grid is made from flexible HDPE plastic. It's designed to conform to sloped or uneven surfaces. For shipping purposes, the grid is compressed in the shape of a rectangle. It's laid on the ground in the area where it will be installed and then staked down. When opened, the cell structure is revealed. The stakes are driven around the parameter to make sure the material will stay in place in order to keep its shape. Gravel is now added to the material to fill the cells. This is an important step because the strength of the surface relies on the strength of the infill which must be the correct type and size of the gravel used. Read through the installation guide for the correct instructions for installation and proper infill.

When installed correctly, the LSG grid will give you a mud-free surface that is very stable for all types of traffic. Because the fabric is absorbent, the surface will allow water to seep through and drain, as long as the site is capable of draining naturally.
