The challenge

The area around the garage units is used intensively. Cars drive in and out of it every day, drivers need to be able to manoeuvre, and the surface regularly has to cope with turning wheels and localised loads.

With a traditional gravel surface, that can quickly lead to rutting, loose gravel and potholes. Especially in places where vehicles often brake, turn or park, a stable base is essential.

In addition, the outdoor area had to remain permeable. Rainwater needed to be able to infiltrate locally, without puddles or muddy patches forming in front of the garage doors. Ease of maintenance also played an important role: the surface had to remain practical for everyday use and look well cared for.

With Multidal, the area around the garage boxes gets a stable, water-permeable surface that can withstand daily car traffic while still looking neat.

The solution

For the surfacing around the garage units, Multidal from ECCO was chosen. This robust stabilisation panel is suitable for gravel infill and ensures that the gravel stays firmly in place, even with frequent vehicle traffic.

The panels form a stable base for the driving area, allowing cars to drive, park and manoeuvre comfortably. At the same time, the build-up remains permeable, so rainwater can infiltrate directly into the ground.

Thanks to the simple interlocking system, the panels can be installed quickly and efficiently. This makes Multidal particularly suitable for larger areas such as car parks, driving areas and land around garage units.

The result

The result is a functional and well-maintained outdoor space, perfectly tailored to everyday use. The area around the garage units remains stable, even when vehicles regularly pass through or turn there.

The gravel stays in place better, significantly reducing the risk of rutting and loose stones. The garage units remain easily accessible and the outdoor space retains a neat, uniform appearance.

In addition, the surface remains permeable to water. Rainwater can infiltrate locally, limiting puddles in front of the garage doors and keeping the outdoor space comfortable to use.

With Multidal, the area around the garage units gets a durable, driveable and low-maintenance finish that is both practical and visually strong.
