The radial panel is designed for pilings and columns. Its surface is comprised of dozens of variable sized crevices and pockets on both sides of the panel, the sharp angles mimic rock cracks found in nature and store water for longer periods between tidal fluctuations, thereby reducing heat stress and desiccation. The radial nature of the panel creates variable shading on the surface, as well as provide shade and refuge for species behind the panel. The radius of the panel can be adjusted as needed to suit specific column dimensions. The panel shown is 1015mm x 855mm and is designed for columns 450mm - 550mm in diameter.
