Why Temporary Car Park Mats Matter

Temporary car park mats are essential for creating safe, stable and reliable parking areas on soft or uneven ground.

Whether you’re hosting a large event, managing seasonal visitor peaks or setting up overflow parking on grass, these mats help prevent vehicles from sinking, getting stuck or damaging the ground. With options designed to support everything from pedestrians to heavy vehicles, they provide a dependable surface that keeps traffic moving smoothly and protects the land beneath.

How to Choose the Right Temporary Car Park Mat

Choosing the best mat depends on your event, the expected vehicle load and the ground conditions. Consider the following:

Vehicle Weight:

For standard cars and light commercial vehicles, choose the Ground Protect Tile (800mm x 1200mm, PVC, supports up to 20 tonnes).
For larger or heavier vehicles, select the Heavy-Duty HDPE Tile (1200mm x 2400mm, supports up to 60 tonnes).

Surface Grip: The Ground Protect Tile features an R10-rated anti-slip textured surface for improved traction.

Event Size:

Single tiles are ideal for small layouts or patch repairs.
Packs of 10, 20 or more are suitable for large temporary car parks or access routes.

Walkway Areas: Rubber mats (100cm x 150cm) or 5m–10m rolls are perfect for pedestrian walkways, ticket gates or queueing areas.

Ground Conditions: Suitable for grass, soil, parkland or any area needing reinforcement for vehicle traffic.
