Grain Segregation: Lego Blocks Instead of Freestanding Dividers

Are lego blocks a realistic / practical option? Want to go up to 4m high. Cheaper to buy / more of a faff to move / reposition but arguably more flexible / redeployable in the long run? Thanks

Are you serious about Lego ( as in the little plastic blocks ) blocks going 4 m high ?

1 - have you considered how many blocks you would need ? It would be in the millions . . .

2 - the structural integrity of lego over that distance & the side forces applied to them ??
There you are - business opportunity in Aus. Or do you just call them something different?

My observation is that they take up a fair bit of room and would have to be moved annually to shift the bugs? Not cheap either when I asked, haulage is a bit of a killer.

We have them and they work very well and we find them very safe just follow the manufactures advice
And we have one set of chains of the correct strength to move them and they are not used for any thing ells

Besblock Telford - use them at work to hold back hundreds of tones of compost which is regularity re handled. They’re fine. I find those A dividers can shift and slide with weight on them, the shape of them like a wedge wants to push away if they’re not anchored.
