I would say that our customers choose the grids because they are less visible than a solid surface, and they allow through-drainage. A few customers have used them as parking and turning areas (backfilled with topsoil and re-seeded) to avoid attention from planning authorities.Planning on going to YAMS, so will come for a look.
Just thinking though, we've got all the kit to lay concrete, and readymix works out at about £21/M2, so the gravel grids aren't looking exactly cheap (unless a specific reason to use them, such as flexibility to take them up
I take your point about the Readymix price but I guess you need to add reinforcing mesh/fibre, and once you have shuttered and laid 202 sq.m of concrete (based on a 150mm pad), your time and effort needs to be taken into account. The lay rate of the grids is about 50sq.m/hour so I would allow three days to get them down:
Look forward to seeing you at YAMS. We will be in the main entrance building.
