Description

Built tough, designed smart: why these base blocks stand out

As scaffolders and fencing specialists at West Sussex Scaffolding, we’ve seen it all – from wind-battered sites to packed event grounds. That’s why we stock these thermoplastic Heras fencing feet. They’re not your average rubber blocks. Made from high-grade recycled materials, they deliver the heft of concrete without the back-breaking weight or disposal headaches.

Each block features ergonomic handles for easy carrying, forklift slots for bulk moves, and a low-profile design that minimises trip risks. Stack them high in your van or yard, and they’re ready for the next job. Whether you’re a solo contractor or running a big crew, these feet make fencing faster, cheaper, and more sustainable. We’ve supplied them to hundreds of UK sites, and the feedback is always the same: “Why didn’t I switch sooner?”

These versatile base blocks shine wherever you need quick, compliant perimeter security:

  • Construction sites: Secure perimeters around excavations, scaffolding, and plant areas.
  • Car parks & public spaces: Temporary barriers for maintenance, events, or crowd flow.
  • Outdoor festivals & leisure: Fence off stages, VIP zones, or family areas.
  • Hoarding & gates: Pair with our stabilisers and pedestrian gates for full enclosures.
  • Roadworks & utilities: Fast-deploy solutions for short-term traffic management.

They’re ideal for hard surfaces like tarmac, concrete, or compacted ground – and with the right placement, they handle gentle slopes too.

Safety isn’t optional on site, and neither is compliance. Our Heras fencing feet are fully tested and certified to meet UK health and safety standards, including BS EN 13374 for temporary edge protection. Every batch is quality-checked for strength and stability, so you can trust them to keep your team, the public, and your project secure.

Key safety notes:

  • Lifting: One competent person can handle a single block using the built-in grips (follow manual handling guidelines). Team up or use a forklift for multiples.
  • Stability: The wide base and 18kg weight resist wind and movement better than lighter alternatives.
  • Eco edge: 100% recycled content reduces your carbon footprint without skimping on performance.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)

They’re moulded from tough, recycled thermoplastic, a blend of rubber and polymers. This makes them eco-friendly, crack-resistant, and far lighter than concrete while staying ultra-stable in all weather.

Just one per Heras panel. For 10 panels, grab 10 feet. It keeps things straightforward and cost-effective compared to systems needing two per section.

Yes, they work seamlessly with standard 2m x 3.5m panels, backstay stabilisers, and our pedestrian gates. The 6 slots are precisely spaced for a snug fit every time.

Yes, they’re designed for it. Slot the panel leg into the hole, give it a wiggle to secure, and you’re done. For larger runs, a two-person team speeds things up.

Best on firm surfaces, but they excel on compacted soil or grass too. For very boggy sites, add our stabiliser pins for extra grip.

Expect 5-10 years of heavy use. UV-stabilised and weatherproof, they shrug off rain, sun, and frost. Many customers reuse the same set across multiple jobs.

No. Just your hands or a mallet for stubborn inserts. Pair with our clips and stabilisers for a pro finish in minutes.

Very little, you can hose them down after use to remove mud, and store them stacked in a dry spot. They’ll look as good as new for the next deployment.

They meet all relevant HSE and BS standards for temporary barriers. A low height reduces trip hazards, and its visibility enhances crowd safety.

Lighter (18kg vs 25-40kg), stackable for storage, and reusable for years. No splitting in frost, no landfill waste, and they provide equal or better wind resistance thanks to the clever low-centre design.
