The end panels are made of lead which is both sustainable and good for weather proofing the gables of the building as well as being indigenous to Scotland - at least as was! The plastic grass-crete is an open honey-comb design with the empty spaces filled with grass. Thus you can hardly see the form of the honey-comb but the structure gives support to cars without they cause ruts in the grass. Of course it is self draining and requires to be cut lke a lawn.
