Slot Blocks are water-filled ballast bases designed to stabilise standard temporary Heras-style mesh fencing. Their low-profile design keeps the base close to ground level, helping reduce the obstruction around the fence line while providing ballast once filled on site.
Each block is 1.75m long. Two Slot Blocks are required for each standard 3.5m fence panel.
