BERA® Stable Fix Eco SF-ECO-40

BERA® Stable Fix Eco SF-ECO-40 is a 40 mm interlocking cellular paving grid for gravel or grass driveways, commercial parking, service routes, paddocks and equestrian yards. Manufactured in Europe from recycled polypropylene/polyethylene, it confines infill to provide a reinforced, permeable surface over a properly prepared foundation.

Loose gravel can spread and rut; unreinforced grass can become muddy under repeated traffic. Stable Fix Eco uses connected cells, anti-slip top nodules and secure interlocking connections to help retain infill and resist panel separation. Gravel, angular stone, soil or grass finishes allow homeowners, developers and contractors to match the surface to their landscape and traffic needs. Its polymer construction has lower thermal conductivity than concrete pavers, supporting more plant-friendly surfaces where grass is used.

This SF-ECO-40 model measures 500 x 500 x 40 mm, covers 0.25 m² per panel and requires four panels per square metre. Weight is 6 kg/m². BERA's February 2026 specification reports empty compressive strength up to 350 t/m² under ISO 844 and gravel-filled strength up to 900 t/m², depending on filling and compaction. These laboratory values describe the panel/infill combination, not an allowable vehicle load. Ground bearing capacity, foundation design, drainage and installation determine traffic suitability. Values for the 40L, 40HD and 50HD models must not be applied to this model.

Panels arrive in pre-assembled 1 m² layers for efficient laying and can be cut around boundaries and obstacles. The open structure allows rainwater into a suitably permeable base, supporting sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) where soil conditions and drainage design permit. A permeable grid alone does not guarantee site infiltration or prevent flooding.

Stable Fix Eco does not have the attached Typar membrane supplied with Gravel Fix Pro. Separate foundation geotextile, base aggregate, bedding, edging and infill are selected for the site. BERA's current brochure lists ISO 9001, REACH and EPD under manufacturing standards; the applicable product-specific declaration should be requested for sustainability submissions. BERA is active in 47+ countries worldwide.

Geosynthetics Africa supplies stock for quick despatch, delivery across Africa and trained installation support. Our turnkey scope can coordinate grids, separate geotextile, edging, material quantities, logistics, installation and QA/QC. Provide your area, location, finished surface and expected traffic for a project quotation; stock and delivery timing are confirmed when quoting.

Install over load-appropriate compacted, permeable foundation layers with the specified separation geotextile and level bedding. BERA recommends at least 50 mm clearance at fixed elements for thermal movement. Use 3-20 mm gravel or angular stone and compact the infill thoroughly. For grass, establish locally suitable vegetation before vehicle use and maintain irrigation, feeding and mowing. Source: BERA Stable Fix Eco brochure SC-SFE_EN-02-26.
