Farm & Rural Road Pothole Repair
Keep it in the shed, use it when you need it
For farm and rural roads, Asphalt in a Bag lets you fix potholes yourself without waiting for an asphalt crew to travel out. Keep sealed bags or a 1 tonne bulk bag in the shed — it has a 12 month shelf life — and repair holes as soon as they appear.

Long private roads and sealed farm driveways often sit a long way from the nearest asphalt plant. A cold mix that needs no heating or tack coat turns a contractor call-out into a quick job.
What to order
- 10 Gauge for most potholes; 14 Gauge for deeper holes
- 1 tonne bulk bags for long roads — about 8.7 m² at 50mm
- Rural stockists in every state — see stockists

There’s no plant, no heating and no tack coat, so one person can make a permanent repair and reopen the area straight away. Apply it anywhere from -26°C to 49°C, in the wet or the heat, and keep sealed stock on hand for up to 12 months.

Why Asphalt in a Bag
- Permanent. Expands and contracts with the road surface, so the patch moves with the pavement instead of breaking away.
- Cures on impact. Curing is activated by compaction — tamp it or roll it and it sets.
- Bonds to anything. Adheres to asphalt, concrete, steel and even wood.
- Any weather. Apply from -26°C to 49°C, in rain, or straight into a pothole full of water.
- No tack coat. No pre-coating or priming. Open, pour, compact.
- Traffic-ready. Application is up to five times faster, and it can take traffic immediately.
