At this time of year, the issue of persistent bad weather and dropping temperatures can start to cause problems on unprotected construction sites. When there's been a spell of heavy rainfall, like recently, items can become waterlogged or damaged. Whilst they can withstand a level of moisture, blocks and bricks are susceptible to becoming waterlogged which can mean that they cannot be laid and cause further delays and costs incurred.
You should cover stacks of bricks and blocks to protect against rain. Blocks that are saturated can suffer damage when laid. It is best to protect your materials with a cover or allow them to dry out before laying. That's why we're really pleased to announce a brand new temporary protection product - Proguard Block Stack Covers.

They have been designed specifically to protect block and brick stacks onsite from exactly these kinds of issues and can prevent blocks or bricks from absorbing water and becoming too heavy to handle or lay. They are manufactured out of heavy-duty, fluted polypropylene, and coloured in high visibility yellow, maximising safety for personnel on site. These strong durable protectors are also lightweight and easy to assemble and can be flat packed away to reuse on future projects. Block Stack Covers both increase safety and productivity on site by making block stacks easier to see in low visibility situations and keeping blocks dry so that work can continue sooner after wet weather.
