Paddock tiles – installation

• Images 1 and 2: Leveling the paddock area and creating a slope so that moisture can seep down to the edge to the drainage systems.
• Pictures 3 and 4: Drainage channel lined with fleece
• Figure 5: Inserting the drainage pipe
• Figures 6 and 7: Filling the drainage channel with washed round gravel
• Figures 8 and 9: Covering the entire area with fleece, including the filled drainage channels
• Figures 10,11,12, 20, XNUMX: Application of crushed limestone gravel layer thickness XNUMX cm and compaction with heavy-duty roller for a smooth surface
• Figure 13: Setting the posts for the fence
• Figure 14: Application of washed gravel, layer thickness 5 cm, to create a flat surface for laying the slabs.
• Figure 15,16,17,18: Laying the 5 cm thick panels
• Figure 19, 21: The vibrating plate is used to vibrate the slabs into the gravel layer to a depth of approximately 2 cm, so that a smooth connection to the stable slabs is achieved.
• Picture 20: The paddock slabs vibrated into the gravel bed – from this point on they are passable
• Figures 22 and 24: Filling the paddock slabs with washed fine gravel, grain size approx. 5 mm
• Picture 23: The paddock boards can be easily cut out for the posts with a jigsaw
• Figure 25: Vibrating the entire surface to achieve a completely smooth and stepless surface
• Figure 26: Applying fine limestone quarry sand to fill the cavities in the gravel, vibrating it in and removing it with a rubber squeegee
• Pictures 27 and 29: the finished paddock
• Figure 28: Mucking is done with a rubber shovel or a snow shovel. No footing is required on the slabs; the horses stand directly on the filled slabs, making mucking with the shovel or snow shovel easier. Rainwater seeps away quickly, without forming puddles.
