It is manufactured for pedestrian applications such as: patios, pool decks, walkways, 18\u201d (45 cm) seating walls, fire pits and heated paving system, allowing you to clearly define your spaces and highlight the focal points of the dream staycation area. Designed with a tongue and grove system, <span class=\"bold-text-alliance\">GATOR BASE<\/span> is easy to install. A single <span class=\"bold-text-alliance\">GATOR BASE<\/span> panel is also equivalent to 130 kg (288 lb) of crushed stone, saving you a minimum of 6 in (15 cm) of additional excavation. The <span class=\"bold-text-alliance\">GATOR BASE<\/span> drains water through channels and is made from lightweight, high density polypropylene. Environmentally friendly, <span class=\"bold-text-alliance\">GATOR BASE<\/span> is 100% recyclable, extremely durable and <span class=\"bold-text-alliance\">GATOR BASE<\/span> does not degrade in the
