Innovators and leaders in fibre reinforced sand surfaces
The original fibre reinforced product was patented and first produced in 1985. It is based on a remarkably simple but highly effective concept, of using synthetic fibres to stabilise a silica sand in order to produce a free draining yet relatively firm, sure footing surface.
The rot proof, polypropylene fibres stabilise the silica sand by providing a high degree of resistance to sand particle movement when the surface is subjected to compressive and/or shear forces from the horses’ hooves.
Fibresand Equestrian is a cost effective, durable and resistant surface which works as an excellent base layer
that is free draining with a sure footing.
