10-25mm rubber chip recycled from cross-ply tyres/conveyor belting and completely steel free. This is generally a slightly larger chip than the RubberRads and performs very much the same. Laid at 50mm (2″) over 100mm of silica sand.

In 1988 Managing Director Alistair Goodwin formed Manchester Plastics Ltd to recycle PVC from waste electrical cables. Most of the reclaimed PVC is still recycled into products such as road cones and stabilisation blocks for temporary fencing, whilst the remaining mixed plastics are extensively screened and washed for equestrian use . This process removes any dust and fibre that may still remain, as well as cleaning out any residual metallics to less than 0.1%. All of our products are produced to the highest quality and conform to all current EU regulations. For all of our Ménage surfaces we recommend a total surface depth of about 150mm. For our Pasada™ PVC Granules and Flexifibre surfaces we recommend 75mm of Silica Sand overlaid with 75mm of either the Pasada™ PVC Granules or Flexifibre. Our rubber surfaces should be laid at a 50mm depth over 100mm of silica sand. For details of all our current products please see below.

he British Equestrian Federation has come out in support of several radical new concepts to keep the sport viable as part of the Olympic Games, including renaming eventing to “equestrian triathlon”. A submission in response to an FEI proposal concerning the future of Eventing at the Olympic Games based on Olympic Agenda 2020 recommendations was made by the BEF on behalf of British Eventing. BE pulled together a wide range of eventing experts, including competition organisers, riders and owners, to form a working group and lead discussion from a British standpoint. The group addressed proposed changes relating to format and presentation of the three phases of the eventing competition. Eventing riders involved in the consultation group, which met twice in 2015, included Daisy Berkeley, Tina Cook, William Fox-Pitt, and Bruce Haskell.

Manchester Plastics supplies you with the right materials for equestrian surfaces, from rubber chippings to PVC granules available at a competitive price. All of our products for ménage surfaces are sold by the metric tonne. The cubic metre prices detailed above are an approximate conversion and for comparison only. All our products, from rubber chippings to Pasada PVC granules, are extremely durable but inevitably over time there will be some loss. We estimate that a top up of between 10% to 20% will be required after 5 years of normal usage and maintenance.
