Bodpave 85 per m2 is a heavy duty permeable cellular paving system designed for regularly trafficked vehicle areas where structural performance and long-term durability are required. Manufactured in the UK from UV-stabilised recycled and recyclable polymer, it forms a rigid interlocking grid that distributes loads through a properly engineered sub-base while maintaining full permeability.
Suitable for both gravel and grass infill, Bodpave 85 is widely specified for commercial parking, access roads and service areas where a permeable alternative to traditional hard paving is required.
Position Within the Range
Bodpave 85 is the heavier-duty option within the Bodpave range. It is designed for frequent vehicle loading and higher traffic volumes where Bodpave 40 would not be appropriate.
Performance depends on correct sub-base design and installation in accordance with manufacturer guidance. Load capacity is determined by the full pavement construction, not the grid alone.
Key Characteristics
- Heavy duty cellular paving system
- Fully permeable – suitable for SuDS-compliant designs
- Suitable for gravel or grass infill
- Manufactured in the UK
- UV stabilised recycled and recyclable polymer

Installation Overview
Bodpave 85 must be installed over a suitable, engineered sub-base designed in accordance with anticipated traffic loading and ground conditions. Full technical data, load guidance and installation details are available within the Documentation tab.

I am using the Bodpave85 as a foundation for our shed. Good quality product. As with all foundations, preparation is key, with the use of a thin layer of gravel below the mats this has proved really easy!

Having researched online and also having viewed other types of grids at local stores and builders merchants, Grassmats product is in my opinion far superior in quality and the cost is very reasonable. I highly recommend this product. Overall the service was excellent. Enquiries made prior to purchase was extremely helpful which ultimately persuaded me to buy from Grassmats. Furthermore, the items were delivered within 48 hours of placing my order.
