In short: yes, but with a few important considerations.
The NOAQ Boxwall is designed for fast, flexible flood protection, and while it performs best on flat, hard surfaces like tarmac or concrete, it can also be used on moderately uneven ground.
What Counts as Uneven?
Surfaces such as:
- Slightly sloped driveways
- Patios with small dips or raised joints
- Grassed or gravelled areas that are mostly level
…can still support a Boxwall setup with careful placement and occasional adjustments.
What to Keep in Mind:
- Gaps matter: On very uneven or bumpy ground, small gaps at the base of the Boxwall may allow water through.
- Surface stability: Loose gravel, mud, or soft soil can reduce grip and compromise performance.
- Use with caution: The more uneven the surface, the more you’ll need to monitor and potentially reinforce the installation.
Tips for Best Performance:
- Clear any debris before setup.
- Use a test run in dry conditions to check for gaps or stability issues.
- Consider pairing with sandbags or absorbent socks in trickier spots to seal minor gaps.
The NOAQ Boxwall is one of the most adaptable flood protection systems on the market. With a little planning, it can be used effectively on a wide range of surfaces.
