The success of your Treadlite surface also depends on selecting the appropriate sand. For stability and performance, it is crucial to use an angular sand that complements Treadlite. The ideal total depth of the sand and Treadlite combined should be between 50-65mm.
In some instances, a blend of two different types of sand may be necessary to achieve the ideal balance of firmness and cushioning. If compaction is a concern, Compacted Crusher Dust can be introduced as a footing layer to provide additional firmness and stability.
Example of sand & Treadlite layers:
(this amount is for the best performance and can be changed to suit individual need).
- Sand Layer: The sand layer is critical for arena performance and safety. We recommend a sand depth of 30-40mm, complemented by a 25- 30mm Treadlite layer for optimal performance. Key factors to consider include:
Particle Shape: Angular sand particles are preferred for better interlocking and stability, reducing the risk of injuries.
Note: Sand selection should be based on your specific environmental conditions and arena use. It is strongly recommended to consult with a qualified professional to ensure the selected sand is suitable for your needs.
