Rubber chippings, also known as rubber mulch, are a type of inorganic mulch made from recycled rubber, such as rubber from recycled tyres.
At Mainland Aggregates, we supply Arena-Flex equestrian rubber chippings that are 99.9% wire free by weight. These have been passed through a specialised granulator and then screened to ensure rubber chippings are as safe as possible. However, the odd small piece of wire may be present. Our rubber chippings are frost resistant and well drained to produce a cushioned non-slip surface that is safe for horses and horse riders.
You can lay landscape fabric before spreading rubber mulch. Landscape fabric, such as geotextile membrane, prevents fabric mulch from sinking into the soil.
Rubber chippings may get hot under intense sunlight but so will other types of chippings.
Yes, rubber mulch is another name given to rubber chippings.
Choosing between rubber chippings or bark will depend on your desired application as each type of mulch has its advantages and disadvantages.
Rubber chippings can be purchased at Mainland Aggregates. We supply rubber chippings loose by the tonne or in giant bulk bags. For equestrian surfaces, it is recommended to achieve a 50mm depth of rubber chippings, which is approximately 25kg of rubber chippings per square metre.
Our equestrian rubber chippings have been supplied nationwide to race tracks, equine colleges, polo clubs and even the Royal Artillery.
