    B · Conventional concrete

    Build depth ≈ 250 mm · 150 mm slab

      Side by side for a 16 m walker

      TrexLok

      • About a quarter of the concrete, so it costs much less.
      • Shallow build: the finished surface sits close to ground level.
      • No boxing, mesh or saw-cutting.
      • The grid holds the thin concrete together and spreads the load.
      • With a roof, each roof post needs its own concrete footing.
      • The road base must be well compacted and laser-levelled first.

      Conventional concrete

      • A 150 mm reinforced slab, the traditional approach.
      • Roof posts bolt straight onto the slab, so no separate footings.
      • Very strong and long-lasting.
      • Needs boxing, membrane, mesh and bar chairs, and saw-cut joints.
      • Uses about four times the concrete, so it costs considerably more.
      • Any local concreter can do it.
      Both bases are finished with 23 mm double-sided interlocking rubber tiles, bolted down. Prices are installed prices including ground preparation and GST. The drawings above exaggerate the layer thicknesses four times so each layer is easy to see.
