What Are Legato® Interlocking Concrete Blocks?
Agricultural Building Solutions Using Legato® Blocks
Legato® interlocking concrete blocks allow agricultural structures to be built without mortar, steel reinforcement or permanent foundations, making them ideal for both temporary and permanent farm buildings.
Common agricultural building applications include:
General purpose agricultural buildings
Livestock housing and segregation walls
Machinery and plant storage buildings
Grain and feed storage bays
Fertiliser and salt storage
Silage clamps and retaining walls
Composting and biomass storage areas
Farm Security and Asset Protection
Legato® blocks are widely used to improve farm security by creating solid barriers that protect valuable assets.
Typical farm security applications include:
Secure perimeter walls
Controlled access points and barriers
Protection for fuel tanks and generators
Machinery and equipment enclosures
Livestock separation and security zones
Temporary or permanent site segregation
The high mass and interlocking design of Legato® blocks provides an effective deterrent against unauthorised access and vehicle impact.

Design, Stability and Engineering Considerations
Agricultural buildings and farm security walls must be designed to account for:
Wall height and layout
Stored material loads (grain, silage, feed, fertiliser)
Ground bearing capacity
Impact from plant and livestock
Wind loading for exposed locations
Elite Precast provides access to its Stability and Loadings Directory, offering guidance on wall heights, block selection and ground conditions.
⚠️ Important: All Legato® block agricultural structures must be checked and approved by a qualified structural engineer prior to installation.
Installation and Guidance
Construct on a suitable, level and well-compacted base
Inspect blocks and lifting pins before installation
Avoid unnecessary impact from agricultural machinery
Consider strapping top layers where risk is identified
