            Hi Kacie, these types of items,Wood Blocks, are store exclusive items and only able to be bought in a Home Depot store. Unfortunately we do not sell them or other dimensions of them with online stock for purchase. If you are unable to see the store inventory or price it is most likely either not a stocked item in your area or no longer available for purchase from Homedepot.com. I would advise you visit or contact your local Home Depot store for pricing and availability. Please follow the steps below to localize your Homedepot.com: 1. Localize Homedepot.com using your zip code (My Store Location: Change) 2. Choose the store where you want to pick up the item (Make this my Store) We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future. Thank you for shopping Home Depot!

              Crap.
              Crap - they aren’t consistently sized so I ended up returning them and just cutting my own.

                I didn’t need them. They look good without them. It was a small deck.

                They did the trick in making for a sturdier bottom railing for the the deck.

                This product is not worth buying. Any variation in rail height makes this look horrible. Better off measuring specifically for your project and cutting your own. Additionally the blocks are not uniform in dimensions either so that’s problematic.
