ÉKI Shet - Small Mud Control Grid

To offer you this level of value for money, ÉKI Shet stabilisation mats are available and deliverable either by half pallet of 45 slabs or by pallet of 90 slabs.

ÉKI Shet mud control mats can be purchased online or collected from one of our collection points in France (only half pallets). You can see the list of our collection points here. If you are going to collect your stabiliser slabs, make sure you have a vehicle suitable for loading pallets (500kg/ half-pallet).

The tailgate is included for orders of up to 10 pallets. For larger orders, an unloading device is required (the transporter places the pallets at the foot of the lorry using a manual pallet truck).

For orders of 0.5 pallets to 7 pallets, your address must be accessible by 19-tonne truck.

For orders of 8 pallets or more and up to 29 pallets, your address must be accessible by 44-tonne truck.

For orders of 30 pallets or more, your address must be accessible by heavy goods vehicle. 

Can TÉKIDÉ stabilisation mats be laid directly on the ground? 

Yes, on stabilised ground, i.e. ground that is flat and load-bearing. On loose ground, we strongly recommend preparing the surface to be stabilised beforehand. This will greatly improve the quantity and durability of your installation. 

Do not lay your stabilising mats on soft ground when the temperature is below 4°C, as the tiles will not anchor properly.

What uses are TÉKIDÉ stabilising tiles designed for? 

Their reversibility means they can be used in a wide variety of ways. Stabilising muddy areas subject to trampling or heavy traffic (horses, pedestrians and vehicles), in particular: 

• Winter paddocks, grassland
• Rack towers, watering areas
• Access roads, paddock entrances
• Car parks

Stabilisation of evolution areas: 

• Active stables, paradise paddocks, team areas

Stabilising work areas : 

• Riding arenas
• Training or competition tracks
• Walkers
• Lunging rings...

Do I need to prepare my floor before laying the mud control mats?

We strongly recommend it! A smooth floor will greatly enhance the quality and durability of your installation. We therefore advise you to level your floor if it is not stabilised, i.e. flat and load-bearing. 

On a flat, even surface, laying your tiles will be easier and the quality of your installation will be enhanced.

Are TÉKIDÉ anti-mud slabs slippery? 

The spikes on the top of our stabilisation mats are designed to slow down the movement of the hoof. As the surface is rigid, slipperiness cannot be ruled out, especially for shod horses. However, as horses live outdoors, there is always a risk of slipping on grass or any other surface.

To reduce this risk, we recommend that you cover your tiles with sand after laying them.

Can TÉKIDÉ stabilising mats be laid on a slope? 

A slight slope is not a problem; on the contrary, it allows surface run-off. TÉKIDÉ stabilisation slabs are designed to be laid on any type of ground, which we advise you to prepare before laying the slabs. 

If the area to be stabilised has a regular slope, the weight of our stabilising panels, the effectiveness of their fixing system and their anti-lift system mean that they remain effective, depending of course on the degree of the slope.
