BaseCore™ Geocell
BaseCore is a collapsible geo-cell typically used for roadways or military applications, but we find the same material to be effective for many areas around homes and farms.
Recommended Panel Depths for Equestrian Use:
2″: Ideal for grooming paths, stall floors, and wheelbarrow access (light-duty, pedestrian, stable-ready)
3″: Great for arenas, runs, parking and private driveways
4–6″+: Best for slow draining arenas, muddy paddocks, erosion control, and slope retention (heavy-duty, reinforced, high-traffic)
BaseCore: Perfect for lighter-duty areas like parking pads, light-duty driveways, slopes and pathways.
BaseCore HD: Designed for demanding equestrian needs, including areas around horses and livestock, steeper grades, and high-stress zones
Tip: BaseCore HD delivers much smaller cell sizes and more strength at every depth. When load support, or stability matter more, HD is the clear choice.

Comparing BaseCore™ To Other Geocell Options
Don't settle for less. BaseCore HD's innovative design features smaller cells, thicker construction, and built-in drainage, providing a safer solution for horses than competitors' larger, potentially hazardous to horses options.
| Feature | BaseCore HD | BaseCore | Competitors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weld Spacing | 260 mm (tightest) | 445 mm | 455 mm |
| Cell Opening | 7.2” x 6.0” | 12.3” x 10.3” | 12.5” x 10.6” |
| Material Thickness | 1.7 mm (reinforced) | 1.7 mm (reinforced) | 1.27 mm (standard) |
| Perforations for drainage | Yes | Yes | Often |
| Structural Strength | Highest (tight cells + thick walls) | High | Lower (thinner walls + larger cells) |
| Fill Efficiency | Most Efficient (smaller, stronger cells) | High efficiency | Lower (requires more fill to stabilize) |
| Durability & Load Handling |  |  |  |
Don’t assume all ground grids do the same job
Why BaseCore Is Built Better Than Others
BaseCore™ is the premium choice in ground stabilization—built for serious strength, safety, and long-term durability. Not all ground grids are created equal. Know what to look for before wasting time and money on systems that can’t hold up.
Others Large cells may look impressive—but bigger cells mean less support.
❌ Larger gaps = more gravel movement
❌ Less stability under tires and traffic
❌ Not ideal for steep slopes or heavy use
BaseCore™ uses optimized cell dimensions for maximum stabilization and gravel retention.
✅ Tighter structure = longer-lasting performance
✅ Less gravel displacement
✅ Built for driveways, parking lots, RV pads, and more
BaseCore™ geotextile fabric is 6 oz non-woven—built to last.
✅ Nearly 2x thicker than common 3.2 oz fabrics
✅ Holds up under heavier loads and longer use
✅ Helps prevent erosion, weed growth, and rutting
Others fabric is just 3.2 oz, and you can feel the difference:
❌ Lightweight, tears easily
❌ Doesn’t prevent movement or rutting
❌ Only 17 lbs for 4x150 ft—ours is 18 lbs for just 3.125x40 ft (2 rolls)
BaseCore™ anchors with BaseCaps, which sit flush and are vehicle- and foot-safe.
✅ Flat, protected surface
✅ No exposed metal
✅ Better aesthetic and function
Others uses bent rebar stakes that stick out of the ground:
❌ Trip hazards for people and pets
❌ Can puncture tires or damage vehicles
❌ DIY shortcut, not professional-grade
BaseCore™ uses BaseClips—a heavy-duty, engineered connection system.
✅ Secure, seamless connections
✅ No sagging or shifting
✅ Built for long-term load distribution
Others uses zip ties.
❌ Prone to breaking under pressure
❌ Difficult to align during installation
❌ Weakest link in your stabilization system
