Strong Access Means Strong Results
Every successful project starts with access—safe, stable routes that keep equipment and crews moving. But for too many contractors, temporary access roads are still built with plywood sheets that sink, crack, and splinter after one rainy day. Those warped boards might look like a quick fix, but they leave behind deep ruts, broken driveways, and unhappy clients.
That’s why professionals are upgrading to BAM! Ground Protection Mats, the modern way to build access roads that perform under pressure, look professional, and last season after season.
Why Plywood Can’t Handle Real-World Conditions
Plywood simply isn’t designed for the job. It might seem affordable, but its weaknesses show up fast on an active site:
- Moisture absorption: One rainstorm and your “road” becomes a swamp of swollen, slippery boards.
- Weak structure: Plywood bows and cracks under vehicle weight, especially on soft soil.
- Short lifespan: Sheets degrade after just a few uses, turning every new project into another material run.
- Unprofessional appearance: Warped, muddy planks send the wrong message to clients.
The result? Lost traction, ground damage, and costly rework. Plywood doesn’t just fail under pressure—it fails your reputation.
The HDPE Advantage: Built to Perform
BAM! HDPE ground protection mats solve every problem plywood creates. Constructed from 3/8″ high-density polyethylene, they resist water, UV damage, and temperature swings. They distribute heavy loads evenly, creating stable, reusable access paths that protect lawns, subgrades, and pavement.
Each 4×8 panel weighs just 56 lbs but handles loads up to 80 tons, allowing you to lay and reposition mats by hand—no forklifts required. The dual-sided tread pattern ensures grip for both tires and tracks, while the Hi-Vis Safety Green finish helps crews and drivers stay aligned on access routes.
This isn’t a temporary patch—it’s a professional system built for long-term reliability.
Building Roads That Work
Whether you’re accessing a residential backyard, crossing soft ground on a commercial site, or staging heavy vehicles on undeveloped terrain, BAM! mats create clean, stable, and reusable paths that stay consistent from project to project.
Use them to:
- Build temporary drive lanes for heavy trucks or concrete mixers.
- Protect lawns and asphalt during construction or renovation.
- Lay stable access routes for utility and pipeline projects.
- Form staging pads for lifts, cranes, or storage areas.
And when the project’s over, you can rinse the mats off, stack them neatly, and be ready for the next site—no disposal, no splinters, no waste.
