Ratings & Reviews for TuffBlock 2-1/2-in Black Plastic Deck support

Great footer

I used these as footers for a deck. I like it so much better than trying to make concrete footers. I was worried that my deck might slide down the hill, but it hasn't budged. If I ever change my mind and don't want the deck anymore, I don't have to dig up concrete footers. So, when it came time to create a raised garden, I decided to use these as footers, instead of sticking posts in a hole in the ground. I expect it will last longer if I don't bury my 4x4 posts. I considered laying the 2 ...

Great for building a deck

So much easier to use than the concrete ones. Will use again.

versatility

Durability, versatility

Awesome product and very versatile

Bought 16 of these for a wood floor in my metal garage/workshop. I didn't want the floor to be too high above the gravel floor, as i left approx half of the space gravel for XUV and mower parking. These worked great, and i used 2x4's for joists and headers and 3/4 plywood sheathing for the floor itself. Very easy to position and level these bases, also very sturdy. Have already recommended them to a neighbor for use in leveling a pre-existing shed and will buy again if needed.

light and easy to use

This product made my project a lot easier! I built a 10x14 deck using 2x6 and 4x4. I really liked the fact that the product was very light, as opposed to the concrete feet I have used in the past. Obviously, this was a small deck and very low to the ground, but after I was done, the deck was solid!

Affordable, Tuff, and EZ 2 Use!

I tested four of these before building my floating deck. In short, 80 TuffBlocks later, and supporting a multi-level 12'x38' deck made from Trex, these babies are rock SOLID! So is my deck. Very simple to use; simple to position and reposition; and rated to half a ton per block. My deck ain't going anywhere. And, as it is a floating deck (not physically connected to the house), I did not need a permit or inspections.

Good flexible product at a relatively lower cost.

I chose these because of the low cost but soon realized that cutting out a few small pieces of plastic also allowed me to accommodate 4x6 posts. I was also able to use deck screws to securely attach them to the posts. This is useful because due to the strong winds in Oklahoma, I buried the bottom 18-24” of the posts with these platforms attached. It would be difficult to attach the other options (concrete platforms) to posts and it would require digging deeper holes to bury them.

Lightweight

Easy, lightweight low to ground.

Amazing product

Very sturdy versitile foundtion block. Light compared to traditional concrete blocks and easy to level. I used 15 of these on a 12 x 8 deck and couldnt be happier with how solid these are!

Great Option

Great option for 4x4 footing.
