SKU GT247894
Durable newt panel made from UV-stabilised recycled HDPE, designed to keep amphibians and reptiles out of hazardous construction and infrastructure zones. Manufactured in the UK, it’s non-toxic, chew-resistant, and performs reliably in exposed conditions. Suitable for both temporary and long-term use, it offers up to 15 years of effective service while supporting sustainable, regulation-compliant wildlife protection strategies.
Newt panels provide dependable and non-toxic wildlife protection around construction, infrastructure, and agricultural sites. Specifically engineered to prevent amphibians and reptiles from accessing dangerous environments, they meet strict ecological compliance standards and offer a high-performance, low-maintenance solution.
Constructed from black regranulated UV-stabilised HDPE, the panels provide excellent resistance to environmental stressors including UV rays, extreme temperatures, and physical damage. Their flat design, with pre-creased edges, allows for easy ground installation while limiting warping. Ideal for long-term use in exposed environments.
Designed to prevent site intrusion by protected species such as great crested newts, frogs, and reptiles, these panels form a critical part of site risk mitigation plans. The material’s chew resistance and long service life make it suitable for high-traffic, high-risk installations where long-term integrity is essential.
UV-stabilised HDPE panel ensures long service life with minimal distortion in changing weather
Flat-sheet creased design enables easy, secure installation for permanent or semi-permanent projects
Protects amphibians and reptiles by blocking access to hazardous construction or roadwork zones
Reusable, made from recycled plastic—supports sustainability goals while reducing replacement costs
Manufactured in the UK, available in two sizes for tailored installation across site conditions
Newt fencing systems are a vital element of environmental protection strategies on UK construction and infrastructure projects. These panels prevent protected species from entering unsafe areas, safeguarding wildlife while ensuring site managers meet legal and environmental requirements.
Made from 3mm thick black regranulated HDPE, each panel offers UV resistance and dimensional stability, even in prolonged exposure to heat or moisture. Their chew-resistant properties add further protection, making them suitable for locations prone to vandalism or wildlife damage.
On-site teams benefit from ease of installation and long-term reusability, helping to reduce overall project costs. The panels’ pre-creased structure simplifies anchoring and enhances rigidity once in place. They are ideal for use alongside pitfall traps and refuge tiles, creating an integrated system for wildlife exclusion and habitat monitoring.
This product is trusted by consultants, contractors, and compliance officers who need practical, legal, and environmentally sensitive fencing that performs reliably under UK field conditions.

This newt panel is part of HERMEQ’s wildlife protection range, widely used across infrastructure and environmental management projects. Constructed from 3mm UV-stabilised HDPE, it meets the needs of contractors and site operators who require long-lasting, ecological fencing systems.
Designed for durability
The panel’s flat, creased structure allows easy in-ground installation and long-term stability. Chew-resistant and UV-protected, the panel performs reliably across changing site conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacement. It is suited to both temporary works and fixed environmental installations.
Applications and compliance
Frequently used around highways, new developments, and utility corridors, the panel acts as a secure barrier to prevent amphibians and reptiles from entering unsafe areas. It helps sites meet their legal responsibilities under UK wildlife legislation, especially where protected species are present.
Eco-friendly and low-maintenance
Made from recycled black HDPE, the panel supports sustainability targets without compromising strength. It is resistant to temperature change and environmental stress, requiring minimal upkeep once deployed. Its longevity and reusability deliver strong lifecycle value.
Pairs with HERMEQ protection systems
This panel works seamlessly alongside HERMEQ's Wildlife Barrier and Protection Systems. For example, pitfall traps can be placed in sequence for species monitoring and capture, while refuge tiles offer secure shelter for displaced animals during site works.
Trusted by specialists
With high resistance to vandalism, UV damage, and impact, this panel is a dependable choice for ecological consultants, construction teams, and public sector site managers. It delivers practical value for large-scale infrastructure schemes and conservation-sensitive sites where compliance, longevity and reliability are key.
Installation is straightforward and transport-efficient due to its rigid but lightweight form. The product is suited for quick deployment and phased projects where flexibility and durability are both required.
