Take a metric tape measure and measure the length, width and depth of the area to be filled. The length and width measurements should be recorded in metres and the depth in millimetres. Now take these figures and enter them into the quantity calculator to reveal the approximate quantity required for your job.
Remember:
1 metre is equivalent to 1000mm or 100cm
1 centimetre is equivalent to 10mm
Our Fibre Sand is a pre-mixed product consisting of our Premium fine grade, sub-angular Silica Sand mixed with our Equus Premier synthetic carpet fibres to produce a more free draining and stable surface than Silica Sand used on it's own. The rot proof polypropylene carpet fibres act to stabilise the surface by imitating the root like structure of turf to reduce surface penetration from the horses hooves, thus giving a firmer ride.
Our Fibre Sand is suitable for all disciplines whether it be dressage, jumping or general use and can be maintained with a tined harrow.
Using pre-mixed Fibre Sand eliminates the need for initial on site mixing by power harrow, resulting in reduced cost and no risk of damage to delicate membranes. Laying a pre-mixed Fibre Sand surface ensures carpet fibre is present throughout the full depth of the surface rather than only the top 2 inches of surface as occurs with on site mixing. Fibre Sand will perform best when moist. Prolonged dry conditions and poor maintenance may cause fibres to rise to the surface. If this happens, it is recommended the surface be watered and harrowed until the desired level of mixing is achieved before normal use is resumed. Equus Fibre is not recommended for exposed areas at risk of high winds as surface fibre may be lost.
We recommend a depth of 6 inches (150mm) if used on its own or 4 inches (100mm) if used with a rubber topping. Fibre Sand should be compacted when damp with a vibrating roller when first installed.
