When you fill the cells of the RutGuard®, you're not only adding stability to the gravel or sand, but also cutting down on the amount of material needed; saving you time and money. Based on the table below, a typical road that usually needs 12" of gravel, only needs 4" when placed inside the RutGuard® panel.
RutGuard® has been field tested by a third-party to demonstrate its strength and durability.
