Equestrian Surfaces
Chris Watson and Sons also shred passenger vehicle tyres to produce 'rubber chips', which has a variety of uses including surfacing for horse arenas, tracks and childrens playground surfaces. It helps to prevent injuries from falls and is a brilliant shock absorber.
Shredded rubber is commonly used as 'footing' in training rinks and arenas. When mixed with sand, the rubber creates a soft but firm surface that reduces ruts and helps to control dust. This surface is easy to maintain, it just takes a small amount of raking very occasionally- to keep the surface even.
Tyres are washed and checked for foreign bodies before shredding into small pieces then a series of magnets remove the wire, and the rubber is checked for any impurities . Only the cleanest rubber (99.9% wire free) is sold, leaving the rest to be re-shredded, or to be used for other applications.
Recycling tyres in this way is extremely beneficial to the environment, as tyres are non-biodegradable, and have previously been sent to land fills where they will sit for many years and could become a severe fire hazard, and be harmfull to the environment.
Rubber is available loose, or can be bagged in 2metre tall X 1metre X1metre bulk bags (with an extra cost for bagging).
Although most of our customers prefer to collect or arrange transport of our products to save money, we can arrange delivery (at an extra cost in line with current transport and handling rates) and will assist in any way we can which ever method you prefer.
