Common questions
What weights do you offer?
40kg, 100kg and 500kg blocks, all with a cast-in rebar handle, plus a 1000kg single block. The 40kg and 100kg come in sets of 2 up to 10, the 500kg in pairs, and the 1000kg as a single, so you can weight anything from a gazebo to a crane counterweight.
What comes in a set?
A set is that number of identical blocks. A set of four 40kg blocks is four separate 40kg weights, 160kg in total. Sets let you cover every leg or foot of a structure without ordering blocks one at a time.
Can I buy a single block or mix weights?
Yes. Order a single block, a set, or full pallets across different weights on one delivery. Tell us the job and we will spec the mix for it.
Do you deliver, and how?
We deliver on pallets across the UK mainland. Request a quote with your postcode and the blocks you need and we will come back with a delivered price.
Are the blocks reusable?
They are. Solid concrete stands up to being left outdoors year round and stacks tidily between uses, so one set of blocks lasts across many jobs.
