Designed for precision and durability, these British-made quadrats are an essential tool for ecological surveys, habitat assessments, and field-based learning.

Manufactured in the UK to a high standard, these premium quality quadrats are constructed from heavy gauge steel wire, providing excellent strength and rigidity for repeated use in demanding environments. They are finished with a tough plastic coating, which protects the welds from corrosion and wear while ensuring the frame remains highly visible in the field, even in dense vegetation. 

The robust construction ensures the quadrat retains its shape over time, allowing for consistent, reliable sampling results. Lightweight yet durable, it is easy to handle, transport, and position accurately during fieldwork. 

Designed for use in habitats such as school grounds, gardens, and local field sites, quadrats allow students to sample plant distribution, estimate abundance, and calculate percentage cover - key components of GCSE and A-level ecology studies. The different grid densities enable differentiation: the 25 square quadrat is ideal for introductory sampling and quicker surveys, while the 100 square quadrat supports more detailed, higher-resolution data collection and advanced analysis. 

Their clear grid structure helps students apply systematic sampling techniques such as random sampling and transects, supporting understanding of biodiversity, ecosystems, and environmental change.

Available in both 25-square 'Q2' and 100-square 'Q3' formats, they provide flexibility for a range of fieldwork activities, helping students develop practical investigation and data analysis skills.

Northern Ireland

Sadly, due to the UK leaving the EU, we can no longer supply Northern Irish customers with any products the have codes starting with an 'L' or 'P'. This is due to the requirement for all live or preserved products to have an import licence specific to the customer purchasing and the product being purchased. As each licence takes 2 weeks to obtain, and involves a considerable amount of paperwork, we have made the difficult decision to stop offering these products to Northern Irish customers. We can still offer equipment, i.e. products with an 'E' code, as these simply require customs documentation.

We apologise for the inconvenience and if the legislation changes we will review our decision.

British Islands

Delivery charges to the Isle of Man, Channel Islands (including Jersey & Guernsey), Shetland, Orkney and all the other islands we've missed, are the same as to mainland Britain (see above). The main difference is that delivery is likely to take a little longer, and for this reason we cannot guarantee next day delivery.

In addition, we cannot ship any liquids, so any 'wet' specimen ordered will be sent vacuum packed rather than in a jar.
