Description
The TuffBlock Instant Foundation System is a lightweight deck foundation alternative to concrete. It consists of multiple floating deck blocks that sit on top of the ground and accept pieces of wood to construct decks, garden sheds, landings, pathways, raised walkways, cubby houses, dog shelters and more.
Each TuffBlock can support up to 1,700 pounds and weighs only 1.5 pounds. They are designed to accept 1/2"-2" joists and bearers, 2x4, 2x6, 2x8 Joists, and 4x4 Posts. The TuffBlock system is unique because it allows you to build a deck that is as low as 6.5 inches off the ground, with no digging.
