The Hi-Vis Mesh Ballast Block is an essential stabilization accessory for HERMEQ temporary fencing systems. Designed to improve on-site safety and wind resistance, each step block adds weight and support to mesh fencing and fence stabilizers. Made from UV-resistant MDPE, these mesh blocks are a reusable, eco-conscious solution for enhancing perimeter security in exposed or windy environments.
These ballast blocks can be used filled or unfilled. When filled with concrete, they weigh 97 lbs; when filled with water, they offer 48 lbs—providing flexibility for site needs and logistics. Highly visible in safety yellow, the blocks improve hazard awareness for pedestrians and vehicles. With easy stacking and deployment, this stabilization unit ensures your fencing line remains compliant, visible and secure.
- Maximizes fence stability - Used with HERMEQ fence stabilizers to meet wind load performance in open areas.
- Eco-friendly and robust - MDPE build provides long-lasting durability without cracking or fading under UV.
- Dual-fill option - Filled with concrete (97 lbs) or water (48 lbs) for adaptable site conditions and project phases.
- Space-efficient - Stackable design allows up to 50 mesh blocks per pallet, optimizing storage and transport.
- Installation ready - Pre-shaped profile fits beneath stabilizer struts and along fencing lines with no tools required.
The HERMEQ Hi-Vis Mesh Ballast Block delivers reliable performance for fence stabilization, particularly in exposed outdoor builds where wind loading must be addressed. As part of our temporary fencing accessories range, it integrates seamlessly with mesh fencing lines and HERMEQ stabilizer struts to prevent fence panels tipping, lifting, or shifting due to site traffic or strong weather conditions.
Ballast blocks are frequently used across construction sites, utility works, temporary compounds, event perimeters and anywhere temporary fencing panels require extra support. Their compact footprint and stackable form make them easy to deploy during site setup or when perimeter changes are needed. Their yellow high-visibility color reduces trip hazards and keeps workers and pedestrians aware of fence positioning.
Available in a choice of unfilled or pre-filled units, these mesh blocks adapt to varying weight requirements and site handling capacities. The concrete-filled option is ideal for permanent or exposed installations requiring full ballast weight. Water-filled options are popular for quick deployment and are lighter for repositioning when fence layouts change or evolve throughout a project.
Each mesh ballast is manufactured with precision to fit securely beneath stabilizers, distributing load evenly while enhancing ground contact. Combined with HERMEQ's couplers, mesh fencing and stabilizers, it completes a robust safety barrier system that meets construction safety guidelines and helps reduce liability on live worksites. Order in bulk for multi-site use or include as part of your fencing rental fleet for flexibility and reusability across projects.

Built for repeat use in demanding site conditions, the Hi-Vis Mesh Ballast Block is a high-performance stabilization unit suited for any HERMEQ mesh fencing or temporary fencing system. It plays a key role in maintaining compliance with wind loading standards, especially when perimeter fencing is exposed to construction machinery, site personnel traffic, or environmental forces.
The block’s molded MDPE structure offers excellent durability without cracking or degrading over time. Its surface resists UV radiation, keeping the bright yellow color visible and compliant with health and safety standards. Unlike single-use weights, this mesh block can be transported, stacked, stored and reused over dozens of project cycles.
Two fill options make this ballast uniquely adaptable. When water-filled, each unit provides 48 lbs of weight, suitable for lighter-duty site conditions or when fencing lines need to remain semi-portable. For fixed setups or locations with higher wind exposure, the concrete-filled version delivers 97 lbs of anchoring mass per unit. No specialist tools are required for installation—blocks are shaped to sit directly beneath fence stabilizers or fence feet, and can be stacked to increase wind load tolerance as needed.
Additionally, HERMEQ offers optional anti-lift struts compatible with this ballast, allowing for a secure, anti-tamper fence stabilization setup. These accessories are especially useful in public spaces or event areas where preventing fence panel removal or displacement is critical. Each stabilizer strut accommodates up to five blocks stacked safely on top of one another.
The Hi-Vis Mesh Ballast Block supports construction compliance by reducing the risk of fence collapse, especially in high-traffic zones. Its versatility makes it a smart choice for contractors, fencing installers, civil engineers, and site safety officers who need a compact yet powerful way to manage temporary fencing stability. Whether it's a city center works project or a remote infrastructure zone, HERMEQ mesh ballast blocks provide the support your fence lines need.
