Paddock Slabs
hanit® Paddock Slabs are a tough and effective free-draining ground stabilization system. As a LID-compatible permeable paving solution, Paddock Slabs have an open honeycomb design that combines strength with excellent drainage.
Paddock Slab is specifically designed and tested for horses. The cell wall is thick enough to support large breeds, yet the cell aperture is small enough for foal and pony hooves. Made of specially formulated hanit®, it cushions and supports the hoof while being strong enough for HGVs.
Paddock Slabs are weather-resistant and suitable for virtually any outdoor use — from footpaths and parking lots to paddocks, riding arenas* and feeding areas. The thick walls and reliable click-together design give exceptional resistance to heavy loads, impact, vibration and stress. They're extremely durable, hoof-friendly and strong enough for vehicles.
*Not suitable for arenas where jumping takes place.
