FAQs

What are the dimensions of each stepping stone?

Each stepping stone measures approximately 25cm in width, 61cm in length, and 2cm in depth.

How much does each stepping stone weigh?

Each stepping stone weighs approximately 2.7kg.

Are these stones suitable for use on a slope?

While they can be used on gentle slopes, extreme inclines may affect stability. Ensure the ground is well-prepared and consider partial burial for better grip.

Can I cut these stepping stones to fit my path?

These stones are not designed to be cut. Their flexible yet durable nature makes them best used at their full size.

How do I clean the stepping stones?

Simply wipe them with a damp cloth or rinse with a hose. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher dirt.

Will these fade in direct sunlight?

The durable recycled rubber material is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, including sunlight, with minimal fading.

Can I place these on a gravel path?

Yes, they can be placed on a gravel path. Ensure the gravel is compacted enough to provide a stable base.

Troubleshooting

Stepping stones feel uneven.

Ensure the ground underneath is level. You can add or remove soil to create a flatter base for each stone.

Slight color differences between stones.

This is a normal characteristic of recycled materials. Embrace the natural variation, or consider arranging stones with similar shades together if desired.

Stones move slightly underfoot.

For increased stability, partially bury the edges of the stones into the surrounding soil or mulch.
