What Are Counterweight Blocks (Kelly Blocks)?
Secure Polytunnels Against Wind and Movement
Polytunnels are exposed to significant environmental forces, particularly wind uplift and lateral movement. Ballast blocks provide:
Stable anchoring without ground penetration
Resistance to wind uplift and structural displacement
Additional weight to maintain structural integrity
This ensures polytunnels remain secure, functional, and protected in all weather conditions.
