A good size for

An entire small drylot

24 panels cover 1,728 square feet. That's an entire small drylot, like a 36' x 48' area. It's also six 12' x 24' runs, or three 24' x 24' paddocks.

Lighthoof panels hold your gravel in place so your horses can't push it down into the mud. Do it once, keep the manure picked up, and it stays mud-free.

Everything installs over the ground you have, with the included fabric underneath. If you want to change how water moves across the lot, do that grading first, because Lighthoof locks in the grade.

An order this size ships free by LTL freight on a pallet. The freight company will call you to schedule the delivery.

Delivery

How freight delivery works

  1. Ships from Houston Your panels ship on a pallet by LTL freight. Fabric ships separately and usually arrives around the same time.
  2. They call to schedule The freight company calls you to set a delivery appointment. The call usually comes from an 800 number.
  3. Liftgate drop-off A full-size truck with a liftgate lowers your shipment to the ground. Someone needs to be there to sign, so look it over for damage before you do.
  4. Tight driveway? If a big truck can't get down your road or driveway, tell us when you order, since extra delivery charges may apply.

How it works

The cells support the gravel. The gravel supports your horse.

Mud happens when hooves push gravel down and pull soil up. Lighthoof locks a compacted layer of stone in place so it stays on top and holds firm through winter.

This bundle includes the fabric layer, so you only need to bring the gravel.

Common questions

How does freight delivery work?

Your panels ship on a pallet by LTL freight from Houston, TX. The freight company will call you to set up a delivery appointment, and that call usually comes from an 800 number. The truck is a full-size tractor trailer with a liftgate that lowers the pallet to the ground. Someone needs to be there to sign for it, so look the pallet over for damage before you do. If you can't move a whole pallet, you can cut the bands and carry the panels one at a time. If a big truck can't get down your road or driveway, tell us when you order, since extra delivery charges may apply.

How much gravel do I need for 24 panels?

Plan on 36 to 48 cubic yards of 3/8" minus crushed rock with the fines left in. 1/4" minus works too. We're happy to look at your quarry's material before you order it. Email a photo with a dime in it for scale to mud@lighthoof.com.

Can a contractor install it for me?

Yes. Any contractor who does landscaping, earthwork or fencing can install Lighthoof from our instructions, and we're glad to talk your contractor through it. About 85% of our customers install their own panels. With two people working by hand, 24 panels is about four weekends. A tractor or skid steer for the gravel speeds that up.

Do I have to install it all at once?

No. You can work in sections. Just make sure every exposed edge has a firm border before your horses are on it.

How long does it last?

Lighthoof comes with a 10-year limited warranty. If the gravel is compacted with a plate compactor at install, many customers go several years before they need to add more.

We're a nonprofit. Is there a program for us?

Yes. Verified 501(c)(3) organizations can apply to our Foundations Program to help offset costs.
