Plastic Kerbstones

Who’d have thought it?

I wouldn’t have done until I saw a DuraKerb truck on the A14 this lunchtime.

It seems to tick all of the boxes :-

• They have the same specification to the normal concrete kerbstones.
• They appear to be just as strong as concrete kerbstones.
• They are light so they are laid quicker and without some of the heavy equipment needed.
• They don’t chip when you lay them.
• They are made from partly recycled material, that would otherwise go to landfill.

But I also speak from personal experience.  Some years ago, I laid a lot of concrete kerbstones by myself.  And I’m a jockey-sized bloke.  These would have been a doddle.
