Compared to more traditional boardwalk surfacing materials such as softwood, hardwood, steel, composite lumber and precast concrete, fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) grating has become the surfacing material of choice for boardwalks in virtually every respect. FRP grating boardwalks offer unparalleled durability, safety and longevity, especially in remote areas and wetlands, where ease of installation, minimal maintenance and longevity are key selection criteria.
No rotting, twisting, bending, chipping or splitting
No loose, dangerous nails or screws
No rust or corrosion
Excellent slip resistance in wet or dry conditions
Withstands harsh marine environments
Highly resistant to moss and mold growth
Virtually maintenance free
Open mesh allows light to reach vegetation below
No leaching of preservatives
Lightweight and easy to cut in the field
Can be colored to blend inconspicuously into the landscape
