Are you Installing NumatAGRI Horse Walker Mats?
Here are some tips and tricks to help you get that perfect result.
This guide will walk you through the process of installing horse walker matting, covering everything from layout to securing the mats.
Laying Out the Mats:
Begin by laying out the pie-shaped pieces of the mat around the horse walker. Arrange them in a circular pattern until you reach the starting point.
Addressing Gaps and Overlaps:
Once all pieces are laid out, you may notice a gap or an overlap at the point where the first and last mats meet. This is normal. Don’t worry if it seems like the mats won’t fit perfectly—this is expected and won’t affect the installation process.
Adjusting the Mats:
- For Overlaps: If the mats overlap, gently push and adjust the overlapping mats outward until they align properly with the circle.
- For Gaps: If there’s a gap, similarly adjust the adjacent mats inward to reduce the space, ensuring the edges meet evenly. Continue to shuffle and jiggle the mats as needed until all edges align and the mats interlock seamlessly.
Securing the Mats:
Once all mats are aligned and interlocked, drill and anchor at two main points at the front of the walker. Normally, anchoring is only needed on the inside of the matting circle. For larger horse walkers that use two-piece mats or have an interlocking joint, additional anchoring might be necessary at the interlocking points.
Final Overview:
Ensure all mats are flat and securely interlocked. The mat should now form one continuous piece around the walker.
That’s how you install horse walker matting! Remember, it’s okay to have some initial misalignment; just adjust as you go.
