FAQs
What is the total area covered by this kit?
This kit contains 12 grids and covers a total area of 4ft x 3ft (12 sq ft).
What is the base made of?
The TruePave grids are manufactured from 100% recycled plastic, diverted from landfill.
Do I need to buy anything else to complete the base?
You will need to prepare the ground and may wish to purchase infill material such as pea shingle or small stones to fill the grids, although the weed fabric is included.
How strong is the TruePave system?
The TruePave system is very strong, capable of supporting up to 200 tons per square meter once installed and infilled.
Is this product suitable for driveways?
TruePave is suitable for low-traffic driveways and parking areas, especially when filled with gravel. For very heavy vehicle use, consider additional reinforcement or consultation.
How do I cut the grids if needed?
The grids can be easily cut with a standard saw to fit specific shapes or around obstacles.
What is the thickness of each grid?
Each TruePave grid is 40mm thick.
Does the kit include the infill material?
No, the kit includes the interlocking grids and weed fabric only. Infill material like pea shingle needs to be sourced separately.
Troubleshooting
Grids are difficult to clip together.
Ensure the edges of the grids are clean and free from dirt or debris. Try applying gentle pressure or tapping the connection point lightly.
Base feels uneven after installation.
The underlying ground preparation was likely not sufficiently leveled. Remove the grids, re-level the ground thoroughly, and reinstall the grids and infill.
Weeds are growing through the base.
Ensure the weed fabric was adequately covered by the infill material. If gaps exist, the weeds may sprout from the infill itself. Check if the weed fabric is intact and properly laid.
The base seems to shift slightly under load.
Ensure all grids are fully interlocked and that the area is well-compacted. Adding a sufficient layer of infill material and compacting it can also improve stability.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Provides a stable and level base for garden buildings.
Environmentally friendly due to recycled materials and drainage capabilities.
Easy and quick to install for DIY projects.
High load-bearing capacity ensures durability.
Prevents mud and gravel migration, keeping the area tidy.
Cons
Requires a firm and leveled base preparation before installation.
May need additional infill material like pea shingle, which is not included.
Individual grids are lightweight and might shift slightly before infill is added.
Cutting grids to fit specific shapes can require tools and care.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Prepare the Site: Level out the ground where the shed base will be installed. Ensure the area is firm and free from large debris.
Lay Weed Fabric: Cut and roll out the provided weed control fabric to cover the prepared area. The weight of the subsequent layers will hold it in place.
Assemble Grids: Begin clipping the TruePave grids together, laying them out to cover the desired 4ft x 3ft area. Ensure they interlock securely.
Add Infill (Optional but Recommended): Fill the grids with your chosen material, such as pea shingle or small stones. This adds weight, stability, and provides the final surface. For shedding, ensure the infill is level for the structure's floor.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most types of garden sheds, greenhouses, summerhouses, and other small outdoor structures.
Can be used for pathways, driveways (for lighter vehicle traffic), or as a base for hot tubs.
Suitable for use with various infill materials like gravel, shingle, or even topsoil for certain applications (though gravel/shingle is recommended for shedding).
Care:
The TruePave system requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check for any debris that may have accumulated on the surface.
If using gravel or shingle infill, occasional raking may be needed to keep it level.
The plastic itself is UV and frost resistant and can be cleaned with water if necessary.
