Your garden should be a place for everyone – including people in wheelchairs, with walkers, or parents with strollers. But grass gets soft after rain, wheels sink in, and small bumps become hurdles. A paved path is expensive and permanent. We will show you how to create an accessible garden path without paving.
Why a mobile garden path?
- No construction work: no digging, no gravel, no paving.
- Flexible: The path leads to the terrace today, to the raised bed tomorrow, or to a garden party on the lawn.
- Removable: The path can be picked up at any time and stored away to save space.
- Durable: TRAIL-MATE path panels support up to 3.5 tons – suitable for wheelbarrows, lawnmowers, or electric wheelchairs.
How to plan the path
Width: TRAIL-MATE panels create a 90 cm wide path – sufficient for wheelchairs and walkers. Where two people need to travel side-by-side or turn around, place two panels next to each other.
Length: Measure the distance. With TRAIL-MATE FLEX (45 × 90 cm) you need about 23 panels for 10 m, with TRAIL-MATE CLASSIC (90 × 90 cm) about 11 panels.
Securing: On grass, TRAIL-MATE PINS hold the panels in place. The Velcro connections ensure a continuous path without gaps.
Tips for the lawn
If the path stays in the same place for a long time, we recommend lifting the panels occasionally or shifting them slightly. This allows the grass underneath to get light and air.
FLEX or CLASSIC for the garden?
At 1 kg per panel, FLEX is particularly lightweight and quick to lay out – ideal if the path moves often or is even meant to go on vacation with you. CLASSIC is the robust choice for longer, permanently laid paths.
