Pavers and Deck Support Systems
In any sensitive natural landscape, the ideal boardwalk or nature viewing platform should unobtrusively blend into the existing landscape, avoid detracting from the view but invite you to enjoy and explore the distant surrounds. It should be exceptionally durable, highly impact resistant, fire resistant, provide safe and secure footing, offer maximum resistance to all weather conditions and require minimal ongoing maintenance over an extended lifespan.
Our fiberglass grating panels meet all the basic requirements for high traffic boardwalk decking, especially in more remote or environmentally sensitive locations where ease of installation, exceptionally low maintenance and long lifespan are critical selection criteria.
Along bike paths and hiking trails, our 8' x 4' fiberglass grating panels are frequently used on small bridges, especially where the bridge may be subject to inundation from time to time. And bridges with deteriorating wood planking can be easily upgraded simply by fixing our fiberglass panels over the existing deck, giving the bridge a new lease of life with a superior slip resistant surface.
Compared with the more traditional boardwalk decking materials including softwood, hardwood, steel, composite wood and precast concrete, heavy-duty FRP gratings for walkways tick all the boxes in terms of a durable, low maintenance, unobtrusive boardwalk surface.
