Feet & Ballasts: what to know before you buy

Fence Feet for Temporary Fencing

Each temporary fencing panel stands in fence feet and is joined to the next panel with couplers. Our standard thermoplastic feet are recycled PVC, 770 x 195 x 122mm and 14kg each, with six location points, integrated handles and a low-profile, stackable shape. Choose the standard or hi-vis version. Where a fence line needs more weight or more visibility, the hi-visibility yellow foot is a 20kg unit of recycled plastic and concrete that sits over a standard foot.

Adding Ballast to Fence Lines

On exposed sites, add weight at the feet with a fence ballast solo block, available as a black 20kg block or a 50kg hi-vis block, or with sandbags. We supply 15kg pre-filled black UV sandbags and empty woven polypropylene sacks of approximately 300 x 450mm in bundles of 100. For angled support, pair ballast with fence stabilisers, and check exposure with our wind load calculator.

For a fence line without separate feet, the ROTA Slot is a red and white pair of interlocking water-filled blocks that spans 3500mm under one standard 3.5m panel. Each block weighs approximately 13kg empty, so one person can position it before filling, and a safety bolt locks the panel to the base. Order the pair on its own or with a galvanised round top fence panel.

Ballast for Pedestrian and Plastic Barriers

For pedestrian barriers, choose the 10kg ballast bag in waterproof PVC with a fastening strap, the 16kg ballast block of concrete in a red plastic coating, or the black and yellow DropBlock made from recycled materials with carry handholds. The Melba SB-Weight clips onto the bottom rail of compatible plastic barriers and sits on Q-Sign frames, and the GS6 ballast box is a stackable, non-conductive water base with a 50mm hole that weighs up to 100kg when filled, used with safety goal posts.

01How much does a temporary fence foot weigh?

Our standard thermoplastic foot weighs 14kg and measures 770 x 195 x 122mm. The hi-visibility yellow foot weighs 20kg and sits over a standard foot for extra weight and visibility.

02What is the difference between standard and hi-vis thermoplastic feet?

Both are listed at 14kg in recycled PVC, with six location points, integrated handles and a stackable shape. Choose the hi-vis option on the product page where feet sit beside walkways and need to stand out.

03How do I add weight to a fence line on an exposed site?

Add a fence ballast solo block (20kg black or 50kg hi-vis) or 15kg pre-filled sandbags at the feet, and fit stabilisers. Our wind load calculator checks your fence against the forecast for your site.

04Does the ROTA Slot need fence feet?

No. The red and white pair spans 3500mm and forms the base for one 3.5m panel, with a safety bolt locking the panel to the base. Order it on its own or with a galvanised round top panel.

05Which ballast suits pedestrian barriers?

Choose the 10kg PVC ballast bag with a fastening strap, the 16kg concrete ballast block in a red plastic coating, or the black and yellow DropBlock. The bag is compact and low-profile to reduce trip hazards.

06What is the GS6 ballast box for?

It is a stackable plastic water base with a 50mm hole, listed as non-conductive and weighing up to 100kg when filled. It is used to stand poles such as safety goal posts.

07Can I hire fence feet and ballast?

Hire is available on a mid to long-term basis by quote. Call 0330 056 4420 or email sales@securasite.co.uk with quantities, location and dates.
