Frequently Asked Questions

Will grass really grow through the holes?

Yes, the drainage holes are specifically designed to allow grass growth. Keep grass well-watered during establishment and you'll see growth through within 2-4 weeks in growing season. Trim grass through holes with a strimmer as needed.

Can I leave these mats out all year?

Absolutely. These mats are designed for permanent outdoor installation. The UV-stabilised rubber handles summer sun, and frost resistance means they won't crack in winter. They're truly all-weather.

Are these suitable for under a squat rack outdoors?

Yes, these mats spread the weight of squat racks across a larger area, protecting your lawn from damage. For very heavy use or Olympic lifting drops, consider adding solid rubber mats on top of these grass mats.

Will the mats blow away in wind?

The substantial weight (10kg per mat) and interlocking design keeps mats in place under normal conditions. For exposed locations or before grass establishes through the holes, ground pins provide additional security.

How do I clean outdoor gym mats?

Simply hose down with water. For deeper cleaning, use a stiff brush and mild detergent. The drainage holes mean water flows straight through — no puddles or drying time needed.

Can I install these on decking or patio?

Yes, though the grass growth feature won't apply on hard surfaces. They still provide excellent drainage, cushioning, and equipment protection on decking, concrete, or paving.
