Questions & Answers

How much weight can they withstand?
ByJul 1, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

402153, the load capacity depends on how the block is installed and the specific manufacturing location. Typical concrete masonry units are designed for structural applications when used as part of a properly engineered wall system, not as individual load-bearing units. For project-specific load requirements, please consult your local building professional or applicable building codes.

                    I use two of these blocks to weigh down my Brinly-Hardy 40 in. Tow-Behind Plug Aerator and the combined 104 lb is enough to help the tines cut into the earth. Great price too.
