Drainage Sand, Filter Sand, Gravel & Stones

Quality Products for Drainage

At Maxibag.dk, we offer a wide selection of drainage products carefully chosen to meet various needs. Whether you need to protect sewer pipes, improve soil drainage, or establish a soakaway, we have the right product for the job.

Here are the 6 products we offer and their applications:

Drainage Sand 0-2 mm

Drainage sand 0-2 mm is the finest drainage product we offer. It is a sharp-grained, fine sand that allows water to seep through effectively. This product is excellent for mixing into a lawn to improve drainage and for laying around pipes to protect them while ensuring water is drained into the soil.

Drainage Gravel 0-8 mm

Drainage gravel 0-8 mm is a slightly coarser drainage product. It contains filter sand along with stones up to 8 mm in size.

Drainage Gravel 0-16 mm

Drainage gravel 0-16 mm is similar in composition to 0-8 mm but includes stones up to 16 mm. It has excellent drainage capabilities, allowing water to filter through efficiently.

Drainage Stones 4-8 mm

Drainage stones 4-8 mm are Danish natural stones that are excellent for drainage. They can be mixed into soil, used for infiltration, or applied around drainage pipes, making them very versatile.

Drainage Stones 8-16 mm

Drainage stones 8-16 mm are medium-sized drainage stones, ideal if you need a moderately coarse product. They are often used for establishing soakaways in gardens.

Drainage Stones 16-32 mm

Drainage stones 16-32 mm are also frequently used for soakaways in gardens. They have outstanding drainage properties and are highly versatile.

What Is a Rainwater Soakaway?

A soakaway is a water reservoir you can construct to manage rainwater. It involves digging a hole in the ground, usually at the lowest point of the garden, and filling it with stones. This stone-filled hole can absorb a significant amount of rainwater, allowing it to filter into the soil, thereby preventing water from pooling in the garden. A layer of soil can be placed over the stones, making it possible to grow grass or plants on top.

We are experiencing a time of increased rainfall, with heavier downpours than ever before. As a result, there is a growing demand for these products. If the soil cannot drain water effectively, it becomes difficult to maintain, and mud takes over. Finding a good drainage solution is, therefore, a worthwhile investment.

How to Choose Between Drainage Sand, Filter Sand, Drainage Gravel and Drainage Stones

When choosing drainage sand, filter sand, drainage gravel or drainage stones, it mainly comes down to grain size and how quickly the water needs to pass through. Drainage sand and filter sand (typically 0-2 mm or 0-4 mm) are sharp-grained and well suited to improving infiltration in soil and to protecting pipes with an even, dense layer. Drainage gravel (0-8 mm and 0-16 mm) provides both filtration and more voids, so the water is carried onwards. Drainage stones (e.g. 4-8, 8-16 and 16-32 mm) are used when you want maximum flow, e.g. for soakaways and coarser drainage layers. Please note: soil type and local conditions can change what you need, so measure up and assess the infiltration before you build.
