Note: It is important for installations with traffic to use compacting gravel as fill, otherwise there can be a "quicksand effect". We highly recommend compacting 3/8" gravel and not pea gravel or any rounded fill. 

The Agtec Geocell is a great solution for ground stabilization and mud control. This innovative product works by holding the ground aggregate in place within the honeycomb cells that prevents the materials shifting sideways. This increased stability not only strengthens and reinforces the structural integrity of the base but also allows for a reduction in the quantity of material needed to create a solid foundation by up to 5 times. This efficiency saves users valuable time, money, and resources. Whether you&#;re stabilizing a pathway, reinforcing a livestock area, or creating a durable base for equipment storage, the Agtec Geocell ensures long-lasting durability and optimal performance, making it an essential tool for any farm committed to maintaining robust and stable ground conditions.

The Geocell greatly reduces erosion from weather and heavy or repetitive traffic. The perforation pattern through each cell and weld allows water to drain freely without washing out the material. The textured surface provides additional material retention. It is ideal for use in the construction of slopes and embankments prone to eroding, as well as driveways, roads, parking lots, trails and much more. 

Effective mud and erosion control is especially important for maintaining a productive and sustainable farm. Uncontrolled erosion can quickly become a costly and time-consuming problem, necessitating frequent repairs and maintenance. Beyond the financial burden, erosion can severely impact the health of animals, damage equipment, and disrupt the entire farming operation. Poor ground stabilization leads to unserviceable areas, hindering crop growth and making livestock areas hazardous. Implementing robust erosion control measures ensures the farm remains operational, safe, and efficient, protecting both the land and the farm&#;s profitability.

We recommend a non-woven or woven geotextile to go beneath the Geocell for separation, reinforcement and weed control.

Use J-hook rebar anchor stakes for installation. The J-hooks not only hold the geocell in place before being filled with aggregate, but also keep the geocell held down so it does not work itself upwards over time. Approximately 18 stakes per geocell. J-Hooks (sold separately).

The 3&#; Geocell is ideal for a variety of applications, including:

• Dirt and gravel walking trails
• Light traffic driveways
• Small animal enclosures
• Livestock traffic areas
• Medium equipment traffic and parking areas, such as UTVs and small tractors
• Medium building foundation stabilization, such as greenhouses and sheds
• Erosion control on small slopes
• Holding mulch in place

Installation: 

• Prepare the area by removing old soil, vegetation and debris.
• Put a sub-base layer if necessary and grade as necessary.
• Pin down one of our drainage fabrics or ground covers if necessary for separation and stability.
• Stake out the Geocell's using J-hooks. If necessary cut Geocell ahead of time with snips.
• Fill the Geocell with your soil, sand, gravel or rock material and rake level. 

Which depth of Geocell to use?

Choosing the correct depth of Geocell is crucial and depends on several factors, including load requirements, soil conditions, and slope angles. Here are some general recommendations:

• 2" Geocells: Suitable for light traffic areas, such as walkways, light-use animal and equipment areas, and light building areas like sheds and small greenhouses.
• 3" Geocells: Ideal for medium traffic areas, including driveways, walkways, trails, medium-sized building foundations, medium-use animal areas, and grass parking areas.
• 4" Geocells: Recommended for standard traffic areas, such as most gravel roads and driveways, standard vehicle use, livestock and farm animal areas, barn and shed foundations, gravel roads, parking areas, trails, and slope erosion control.
• 6" Geocells: Designed for heavier traffic areas, such as those used by heavy vehicles and equipment, low-traffic road base reinforcement, heavy traffic gravel roads, building base reinforcement, equipment parking, small airport runways and taxiways, and steep slope erosion control.
• 8" Geocells: Engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications, including heavy-duty access roads, logging roads, heavy equipment areas, road base reinforcement, and large building or structure foundation reinforcement.

Which length J-Hooks to use?

• 10&#; J-hooks for 2&#; and 3&#; Geocells on flat ground.
• 18&#; J-hooks for 4&#; and 6&#; Geocells on flat ground.
• 24&#; J-hooks for 6&#; and 8&#; Geocells and for slope installations.

Which Geotextile to use?

Using a geotextile underneath the geocell is strongly recommended as it provides several benefits, including separation, reinforcement, stability, and erosion control. The appropriate thickness of the geotextile depends on the depth of the geocell, as larger depths require thicker geotextiles to support the corresponding load. By preventing aggregate sinking and strengthening the entire installation, it ensures long-term stability. Additionally, it helps control weed growth. Our company offers both woven and non-woven geotextiles to suit your specific needs.

Woven geotextiles are known for their strength and ability to restrict weed growth. They are effective in slowing down water flow, which can help prevent erosion from occurring below them. On the other hand, non-woven geotextiles are more suitable for situations where fast water flow is necessary. They excel at filtering aggregates and preventing them from passing through the fabric.

Choosing the appropriate geotextile for your geocell installation is crucial to ensuring its long-term stability and performance.

Here is our general guide to which of our geotextiles to use:

• For 2" and 3" Geocells, we recommend using a 3.2oz non-woven or 3oz woven geotextile.
• For 4" Geocells, we recommend using a 3.2oz woven or 4.5oz non-woven geotextile.
• For 6" Geocells, we recommend using a 6oz or 8oz non-woven geotextile.
• For 8" Geocells, we recommend using a 6oz or 8oz non-woven geotextile.

Which aggregate to use in the Geocell?

For most installations and especially installations with traffic, it is strongly advised to use compacting gravel as fill to ensure a sturdy and stable installation. We recommend using compacting 3/8" - 3/4" gravel, ideally not pea gravel or any rounded fill, to ensure a durable and long-lasting foundation. While geocells can be used to support and prevent erosion of other aggregates such as soil, sand, stone, and crushed rock, it is important to use the appropriate type of fill for areas with traffic to avoid sinking and deformation over time.

These Geocell&#;s are carefully manufactured under a quality management system that is ISO-: CE certified.
