-
HOW DO YOU LEVEL THE EZ BLOCK
The EZ BLOCK is designed to receive a SCREWJACK for leveling. Slide the screwjack right in the hole!
You can also use shims if needed.
-
HOW DO YOU MOVE an EZ BLOCK?
Handle with caution—it's heavy! (That's by design.)
You can move it using one of these three methods:
A rated dolly.
A "HUG" attachment with a forklift.
If possible, slide a pipe all the way through the object. Once it's on its side with the pipe centered, your team can use the pipe to leverage and heave it into position.
-
How Do you connect them together?
The EZ BLOCK system is flexible, working perfectly on its own or together with its mates. When you need more weight or a larger structure, simply "HUG" two or more EZ BLOCKS together! This special connection is a steel plate that bolts quickly onto the top of the blocks, transforming them into a single, strong unit with the combined weight you need.
(And yes, everyone needs a hug!)
-
How do you connect an EZ BLOCK to a Tent?
Forget those ugly concrete weights! Our steel EZBLOCK connects through the tent pole—not off to the side—for superior stability and a smaller footprint.
The pole locks securely into the ETC (EZBLOCK Tent Connector) with Grade 8 hardware. Secure, sleek, and takes up minimal space.

-
ScrewJacks? - YES or NO?
YES! Of course you can add screwjacks to the EZ BLOCK event ballast system. They slide right in and you don’t ever have to worry if it will get jammed up on the concrete inside of the block, because we do NOT use concrete!
-
Is there a bolt pattern on the bottom too?
YUP! The bottom is the SAME as the top. That said, the top is the same as the bottom. Get it? Its EZ! This is the EZ BLOCK!
-
Is the EZ BLOCK PAtented?
YUP! Patent Pending! Pretty exciting stuff !
-
What is the bolt pattern?
The bolt pattern on the top and the bottom of the EZ BLOCK is made for standard 12” x 12” box truss. You can bolt truss above and below the ballast. Typically you can bolt a base plate to the bottom.
-
Does the EZ BLOCK work with 20.5" truss?
No. and….YES! By itself it will NOT bolt directly to 20.5” box truss. When you add a “HUG” to the unit (starting with the 2ft x 2ft hug, you can bolt on a 20.5” stick of truss. Check out the Accessories page for more information.
-
Can I tip it over?
If tipping the truss helps achieve the desired connection, then do it. The weight distribution won't be an issue.
-
Why didn't I think of this?
Have you ever struggled for a solution? Well so have we. This is our solution.
-
How do you move an EZ BLOCK?
The cool thing about the EZBLOCK is that you CAN move it WITHOUT a FORKLIFT. Each EZ BLOCK is manageable to move around with a rated dolly (you can get these at Home Depot). If you bolt multiple units together with an EZ HUG, then it is suggested you use a forklift.
