Hoarding Made Easy: Why STRUCTApanel® Black Is the Smarter Choice

On any active site, hoarding plays a vital role in keeping projects safe, compliant and professional. It needs to be installed quickly, look good from day one, and withstand exposure to weather and wear. For builders and contractors, time spent sanding, priming and painting traditional hoarding panels is time taken away from what matters most, building.

That is where STRUCTApanel® Black comes in. With a pre-finished black surface, bracing certification and built-in termite protection, it is designed to make hoarding projects faster, simpler and more reliable.

The Problem with Traditional Hoarding

Traditional hoarding, often made from basic particleboard, comes with several drawbacks:

• Extra labour required for sanding, priming and painting.
• Inconsistent finishes due to knots, grain variation and warping.
• Compliance issues when panels are not bracing-certified.
• Durability problems caused by moisture and pest damage.

These challenges can delay projects, increase costs and create inconsistent site presentation, especially in public or high-profile locations.
