Ballast blocks give you a simple way to add stability to temporary fencing on site. Each block is a hollow, blow moulded unit that sits over the end of a fence foot, and you fill it on site with sand, concrete or water to reach the weight you need for the conditions.
As a heras fencing weight, this block fits all common fence bases and stacks with other blocks or weights when you need extra ballast. Ergonomic handles make it easier to move and position, and a durable cap keeps foreign objects out once it is filled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are ballast blocks?
A. Ballast blocks are hollow, blow moulded blocks that sit over the ends of fencing feet. You fill them on site with sand, concrete or water, adding weight to help keep your temporary fencing stable.
Q. What can I fill a ballast block with?
A. You can fill a ballast block with sand, concrete or water. Filled with water, the block reaches 22kg. Filled with concrete, it reaches 44kg, giving you a heavier option where more stability is needed.
Q. How much do ballast blocks weigh?
A. An empty ballast block weighs 1.8kg. Once filled, the weight depends on what you use. Water brings it to 22kg, while concrete brings it to 44kg, so you can choose the fill that suits the stability you need on site.
