What you put down when the ground is the problem. Grass that will be mud by hour two, gravel that eats heels, a concrete pad that photographs badly — the tiles cover all of it with a hard, level walking surface.

Specifications

The grid underneath does the real work.

It lifts the surface off the ground so water drains through and air moves underneath, which keeps the floor from turning into a puddle and keeps whatever is under it from suffocating over a multi-day install. Because the tiles are plastic rather than timber the system is UV, water and rot resistant, so it goes out in direct sun, wind and rain without being sealed or made good between events.

Ground that will not hold up

Six sites that need a floor first.

  • A marquee on a lawn

    The single most common reason to order this. Grass under a full guest list stops being grass by the middle of the evening and a floor is the only thing that changes that.

  • Gravel courtyards and car parks

    Loose stone is impassable in anything with a heel and impossible to roll a cart across. The deck turns the same area into something people can cross without watching their feet.

  • Roof terraces and patios

    Hard, functional and not presentable. A floor over the top of it goes down and comes up again with no tools and no fasteners, which is usually the condition of being allowed up there at all.

  • Sites with something in the way

    A post, a planter, a drain, an edge that is not straight. The tiles cut to fit, so an awkward footprint does not have to be squared off to work.

  • Multi-day builds on grass

    The open grid keeps water draining and air moving under the floor rather than sealing the ground off under it. That is the reason it is the tile to put on a lawn somebody is protective of.

  • A bar with kegs rolling into it

    Anywhere kegs, ice and cases are being wheeled about on soft ground. This is the floor the vented tile explicitly is not — it takes weight rolling across it.

The green version

When the ground should look like ground.

The deck solves a surface that will not hold up. It does not solve a surface that photographs badly — a car park still reads as a car park with a hard floor over it. Turf goes over the same ground on the roll and cuts to the same shapes.
