Why Choose Ekki Hardwood Mats?
Ekki timber is one of the strongest and most durable hardwoods available – ideal for ground protection in all environments and handling high-pressure loads. Its density, natural rot-resistance, and longevity make it as practical as it is cost-effective. With the right care, our Ekki bog mats can last for decades and are fully reusable and recyclable.
The sustainability of our products is important to us, and we strive to pass on the eco-benefits to our customers. That’s why we source our timber mats from FSC-certified forests.
By choosing GJ hardwood bog mats, you’re not only investing in safety and stability, but you’re also choosing the greener option.

What types of timber bog mats do you supply? →
We supply a range of timber bog mats, including standard hardwood mats and high-strength Ekki mats, each suited to different ground conditions and load requirements.
What are Ekki mats and when should they be used? →
Ekki mats are manufactured from high-density tropical hardwood, offering exceptional strength and durability. They are typically used on more demanding sites where ground conditions are poor or where very heavy loads need to be supported.
What’s the difference between hardwood mats and Ekki mats? →
Standard hardwood mats are suitable for general access and supporting plant and machinery. Ekki mats offer a higher load-bearing capacity and are better suited to heavy-duty applications, including lifting operations and high-traffic areas.
How do I choose the right bog mat thickness? →
The correct thickness depends on ground conditions, the type of plant or machinery, and traffic levels. Heavier applications will typically require thicker or heavy-duty bog mats to ensure safe load distribution.
What load capacity can timber bog mats handle? →
Load capacity varies depending on the type of timber, mat thickness, and ground conditions. Standard timber bog mats can support typical site traffic, while Ekki mats and thicker mats are designed for higher load-bearing requirements.
Can you advise on quantities and spec? →
We can review your project requirements and recommend the most suitable mat type, thickness, and quantity. By considering factors such as ground conditions, loading requirements, and site layout, we’ll help ensure the mats are fit for purpose.
