Surfaces
Our renowned synthetic surfaces and Clopf® fibre

Martin Collins offers a range of fibres that help give root structure to existing sand surfaces. This helps to give the sand more stability therefore the horses work on top of the surface rather than "through" it. The fine mix of textile fibres is available as an additive for existing surfaces of sand or a combination of sand and pvc/rubber. The recommended  tonnage of Clopf fibre  will be determined by the current surface content and area.

1 Wet existing surface (by water
   bowser or by natural rain fall).
2 Spread the fibre evenly over the surface.
3 Use a rotovator to mix the fibre into the top 2.5" –
   3" making 2 or 3 passes.
4 Use a rotara for a further pass, this will help provide
   a consistent and level surface.
5 Finally wet roll and "groom" the surface ready for use.

After care:
• The surface needs to be regularly maintained.
• For best results the surface should be kept moist
   and rolled.
• Any tracking can be removed by a hand rake.
• Care should be taken when using a machine with deep
   tines as these may cause the fibres to become very loose
   and damage the base.
