Weighing in at 1½ lbs., this product can hold up to 1700 lbs. in weight. It is extremely versatile structurally, and easy to build. Installing these 100% recycled plastic cubes is an extremely attractive alternative to digging holes and mixing concrete, saving both time and money. Constructable within hours and with minimal experience, this product is a DIY-ers dream.

TuffBlock’s are made of high-strength, closed-loop recycled polyolefin material with an ultra-high UV rating. Designed with a ventilated underside to prevent moisture buildup and deter termites. TuffBlock’s are the only block products that are able to be secured to the post/bearer for extra stability.

Unique to the TuffBlock is the ability for low-level decking, it is now possible to build a deck as low as 6½” without the need for digging. TuffBlocks have been engineered for structures up to 36" above ground. Having said this, many people have built structures higher than this using the composite foundation method (TuffBlocks in combination with concrete-in-ground footings). We recommend that you consult with a qualified builder or engineer regarding your project.

Further, the slimline profile and satin black finish means a TuffBlock easily blends into the landscape and makes for an aesthetically simple and pleasing surrounding.
