Clopf

I love it, it's great for fixing old surfaces as well


but what a bitch to lay down!!

Brilliant surface - and much cheaper if you get the clopf bales separately to the sand - but would agree with comment above!! However you only have to do it once and its pretty easy to maintain as long as the sand doesn't get too dry
 
Would it improve a sand with fibre surface that gets deep and dry in the summer? Or would we still need to water it lots?

I'm not expert but I wouldn't of though the fibre already in wouldn't cause a problem, but honestly you could do with talking to Alex the north sales rep at martin collins, really friendly and no pressure sales, she will get ot tested if she feels she needs too.

as for watering it, yes, only a waxed surface doesn't need watering and you can add another 40k on top for that!
 
If its chopped carpet stuff then there is another company based near Peterborough that supplies it at £150 a tonne (you need 6 tonnes for a 20x40) plus haulage.... dont know how that compares to Martin Collins ?

Its fab stuff... its the stuff that Little Tiger is schooled on... and it was fab throughout the snow and ice that rendered our own surface useless !!
 
Would appreciate more info on the problems to expect laying it. I have the silica sand laid already and am considering this to add to it. Any advice appreciated before I take the plunge.

it's the breaking up of the bales and spreading of it that is the problem, they give you a DVD to watch and it suggest a bale cutter, but i couldn't find anyone that had one.

I did hear afterwards someone used a rear muck discharger, but i don't know how well it went.

but it is good stuff
