A plurality of substantially rectangular cells 7 are formed in the mat frame 2 so as to be recessed, and the adjacent cells 7 are connected at their upper ends by connecting ribs 5b. On the outer peripheral portion of the mat frame 2, a peripheral rib 5a having substantially the same height as the connecting rib 5b is provided at the upper end of the cell 7. In the vicinity of the center of each side of the bottom surface of each cell 7, four openings 6 are provided from the bottom side to the lower side.

The thickness of the ribs 5 (peripheral ribs 5a, connecting ribs 5b) is made flexible so that they can follow irregularities such as irregularities (slabs) on the laying surface, and at the same time, directly on the mat frame 2. It is necessary to have such a thickness that it has such a strength that it does not collapse even if a person rides on a walking board. For example, the thickness is preferably 0.4 to 2.0 mm. Accordingly, the mat frame 2 is supported by the bottom surfaces of the plurality of cells 7 and has a sense of stability due to bending, and has a shape that can be spread over a slab surface such as a rooftop. Also, the thickness of the cell 7 requires the same consideration as the thickness of the rib 5.

The mat frame 2 is preferably made of a synthetic resin, such as vinyl chloride, polypropylene,
Polyester, polyethylene, polystyrene and the like are used, and are formed by a molding method such as vacuum molding, blow molding, injection molding, and extrusion. Incidentally, the size of the mat frame 2 is appropriate, and in the embodiment, it is 500 × 500 × 100 mm.

At the center of the partition member 8, the convex and concave portions 15 and the concave portions 16 are engaged with the concave and convex portions to form the partition member 8.

Each of these partitioning members 8 is separable, so that it does not take up space when storing and carrying in. Further, the partitioning member 8 shown in FIG. 14 is folded by rotating in the direction of the arrow in the fitted state. It is possible to perform the same operation to some extent without separation.

FIG. 17 shows an example of the planting mat 1 in which the partition member 8 is actually used. A filter 3 (not shown) is laid in each cell 7 of the mat frame 2, and a separate cross-shaped partition member 8 is provided on the filter 3.
