Manufactured Sustainably

Produced from recycled composite plastic, this batten offers a more durable and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional timber ground supports and it is designed to withstand prolonged ground contact without breaking down.

Dimensions

• Length: 3000mm (3 metres)
• Height: 40mm
• Width: 40mm

Key Features

• 25-Year durability rating
• Rot-proof construction
• Designed for ground contact
• Structural-grade strength

Required Ratio for Installation:

When installing Composite Ground Spike Batten alongside:

Composite Perimeter Edging (3000mm long)

The recommended ratio is:

1 length of Composite Ground Spike Batten to 2 lengths of Composite Perimeter Edging (2:1 ratio).

This provides sufficient structural anchoring while maintaining cost efficiency and installation speed.

Example:

• 8 lengths of Composite Perimeter Edging
• Requires 4 lengths of Composite Ground Spike Batten

These ratios ensures a strong, stable perimeter frame.

What Is It Used For?

This composite ground spike batten is used to:

• Reinforce perimeter edging
• Secure artificial grass frames into the ground
• Create a stable fixing structure
• Prevent movement in sub-base systems

Ideal for:

• Domestic gardens
• Commercial landscaping
• High-traffic installations
• Raised lawn systems

How to Install (Correct Method)

1. Cut the batten to required length if necessary.
2. Position along the inner perimeter of your prepared sub-base. (inside your frame)
3. Drive into the ground using a heavy-duty lump or sledge hammer until secure.
4. Fix your composite edging board to the batten to create a strong perimeter frame.
5. Secure artificial grass to the completed structure using artificial grass screws.

For best results, install at regular intervals to maintain consistent support.

Why Choose Composite Over Timber?

• Completely rot-proof
• Moisture resistant
• Designed for long-term ground contact
• No splitting or warping
• Lower long-term maintenance
• Stronger, more consistent structural support

Timber supports can degrade and loosen over time. Composite battens provide a far more permanent solution.

Trade & Installer Benefits

• Clear 2:1 installation ratio
