1 Outdoor Mat - 5 Different Uses

in Product Guides
Our large recycled plastic mats are NOT just for caravanning & camping.

Being hard-wearing, lightweight, comfy & easy to clean, they're the definition of multi-purpose, in lots of different settings. Here are just 5 ways we have used our Diamond Annexe Mat. 

1: Parties & celebrations

Be it a kids' party or the work Christmas celebrations, they're ideal for creating a large, last-minute entertaining area. You can simply add a low table, a few cushions & you are set to party! Our eco-bamboo folding picnic tables & cheeseboards are perfect for this. We have a great range of eco picnic items to complement any setup.

2: Day tripping

Because you can use them on grass, dirt, sand & scrub, they are the day trip must-have! No matter where your wandering takes you, you can set up and enjoy your new environment in comfort and style. To make things even more of a breeze, they are also easy to take care of. Phew!

3: Staycations

Hanging at home? You can use your mat here too. Great by the poolside, to help take some of the ouch off that hot deck as well as looking fabulous! Or add a stylish splash to your patio or BBQ area, simply fold away when not in use.

4: Travelling with pets

Everyone, including the furry family members, love hanging out on the mats, and if they drag in any sand or muck, no worries, they are super easy to clean, you can just sweep or hose it off!

5: Enjoying nature

Planning a big day out, maybe to a farm or nature park? You never know who you will make friends with while you're out! 

Some of those 'buddies' can be a little messy, but fear not, any "spills" can be easily hosed or wiped off. No harm done.

Check out how our 'planet-saving' mats are made here. You'll wonder how you ever managed without one in your life!!
