How the Astro Mat System Works

Astro Mats can be laid as a single layer or as part of a three‑layer matting system for deeper, muddier areas.

  • Layer 1 & 2 compress the ground.
  • Layer 3 provides drainage, acting like a floating bridge.
  • Overlapping joints ensure stability.
  • Strong enough for tractors, lorries, and other vehicles to drive over.
  • For cost‑effective installations, lighter mats can be used underneath as an underlay.

Comfort & Safety

The cushioned effect of Astro Mats provides a comfortable resting area for horses while reducing strain on hooves, joints, and tendons. Easy to handle and install, each mat can be laid in any configuration to suit your paddock or yard layout.

Reasonably speedy delivery of 24 bags, mainly grey. Easy to carry the bags around. Easy to spread it out. Very good product. Covered one terrace in our garden with it. Recommended.

Slight delay with stock on the coloured chippings I ordered, but once sorted delivered quickly and without any bother. Really happy with the quality and colour for the 20mm chippings. A few small wires found while laying it, but the kids have been playing on it barefoot for a few weeks now (not recommended by the supplier, but kids will do what kids will do) and nobody's got a wire in their foot yet 🙂 I used 100mm deep to give a nice soft landing under the monkey bars then 50mm deep elsewhere, giving a nice tidy finish to the kids play area. As a bonus, the cats have shown no interest in using it as a toilet.

Frequently Asked Questions about Astro Mats

What are Astro Mats used for?

Astro Mats are designed to prevent muddy gateways, stabilise ground in high‑traffic areas, and provide a cushioned, supportive surface for horses and ponies. They are ideal for paddocks, feeding areas, shelters, and access routes.

How do Astro Mats help with mud management?

The mats compress the ground and create a stable, porous surface that drains water effectively. This reduces mud build‑up, lowers the risk of mud fever and thrush, and keeps gateways cleaner and safer.

Can vehicles drive over Astro Mats?

Yes. When installed correctly, Astro Mats can withstand tractors, lorries, and other vehicles, making them suitable for both equestrian and agricultural use.

Are Astro Mats environmentally friendly?

Yes. Astro Mats are made from 100% recycled materials, making them a sustainable choice for equestrian and agricultural use.

Do I need one layer or multiple layers of mats?

For lighter mud areas, a single layer may be sufficient. In deeper or wetter gateways, a three‑layer system is recommended to maximise drainage and stabilisation.

How easy are Astro Mats to install?

Each mat is cut into manageable sections (typically 4ft x 3ft) and can be laid in any configuration. Overlapping joints ensure stability, and installation can be done without specialist equipment.

What sizes and weights are available?

Astro Mats come in a range of sizes and weights, from lightweight options for cost‑effective projects to super‑heavy mats for maximum durability. This allows you to choose the right solution for your ground conditions.

Where can Astro Mats be delivered?

Delivery is available across mainland UK, with some postcode exceptions. Please contact us if you are in an excluded area to discuss delivery costs.

How do Astro Mats support horse health?

The cushioned surface reduces strain on hooves, joints, and tendons, while keeping resting and standing areas cleaner and drier — promoting overall equine wellbeing.

How do Astro Mats compare to other equestrian surfaces?

Astro Mats are specifically designed for mud management and gateways, while our wider range of equestrian surfaces includes equestrian rubber chippings and stable matting. Together, they provide a complete solution for safe, durable, and comfortable equestrian environments.
