Easy Installation
IBRAN gravel driveway grids are incredibly easy to install porous pavers. Each paver locks together to hold any kind of 10-30mm stone down on any smooth surface - up to a max. 12% gradient.
Place over a type 1, 2 or 3 MOT sub base or any well compacted, smooth surface. Interlock and fill with bulk bags of any kind of stone. Both the grids and gravel chippings will stay put, providing a solid, rut-free surface to drive over.
All Weather Plastic Pavers
Make your parking spaces and access routes accessible the whole year through, whatever the weather. Our driveway grids are waterproof and UV stable. They will not become brittle under intense sunlight.
We put our porous pavers through rigorous testing to ensure all-weather stability between -50°C and 90°C.
With our grids you can use your car park or pebble driveway in wet, cold or snowy conditions. This is thanks to our specially designed, ribbed ridges of the permeable 40mm raised mesh.

Installation of our gravel pavers is simple and anyone can do it.
We recommend you read our installation guide to make sure you order the right materials, ready for the project.
Yes, you could lay gravel mats onto soil provided you line the base with membrane first. However, for the best performance, we strongly recommend you use a sub base of compacted type 1 MOT.
For more info, read this guide.
As with any other surfacing project, we recommend using a well compacted sub base composed of hardcore, sand and membranes.
For more detail, read our guide.
We over-engineered our grids to be as good for commercial use as they are for domestic.
This means reliable access roads, car parking areas and even warehouse hardstandings are possible with IBRAN grids.
There isn't much our grids can't handle.
With good preparation and ongoing care, you can expect your gravel grids to last more than 25 years.
For more information, please read our guide.
Like any surfacing option, grids only sink if the sub base is of poor quality, not prepared well or non-existent.
We cannot stress enough how important it is to prepare your sub base well. For best results, please refer to our installation instructions.
Yes, you can. But when installing on existing concrete or tarmac, you need to consider what edging you choose. When cars ramp up onto the grids, they apply twisting and compressive forces onto parts of the side walls not intended to bear weight.
That’s why we have a range of different edging products including the industry's first and only ramp edge designed especially for gravel grids.
Only if you want them to be. You have no obligation to leave your grids exposed if you don't like the look of them. Lower the excavation by 10mm so the top of the grids sit 10mm below the final height so you can add more stone.
If you prefer to see your grids, you will want to make sure that you fill and maintain your grids with enough stone to do the heavy lifting. Whilst the grids are strong in their own right, the stone and its compaction is where the strength comes from
We make our paving grids from eco friendly, 100% recycled plastic (PP+HDPE).
We consciously made this choice with the environment - and not profit margins or greenwashing - in mind.
The company's entire ethos has always been to contribute positively to improving the natural and built environment. With so much plastic floating around in the oceans, why would we choose virgin material when we can lock it up for good?
Depending on what type of stone you’re using, it may vary. The general rule we apply is to start with at least 20-30kg per grid. To calculate it the most directly, for every 1 square metre, you need 80 - 120kg of aggregate.
You have so many different types of aggregates and gravels to choose from. Think as much about things like clogged up tyre treads as you do aesthetics when you choose your gravel.
To lay a gravel driveway or parking lot, we recommend 20mm angular gravel. For footpaths, we recommend 10mm pea gravel. Our gravel stabiliser holds anything from 10mm to 30mm.
To do this calculation quickly for you, we built a gravel grid calculator. It finds the area and then multiplies it by our suggestion.
The calculation: Length (m) x width (m) x 120kg
