EZ HUG Combos and Custom Configurations
An EZ HUG is a steel top plate that bolts several EZ BLOCK units into one strong base, so you get more weight in one piece. EZ HUGs come in 1x1 to 1x6, 2x2, 2x3 and 3x3 sizes. EZ HUG Combos pair them with the EZ BRICK 125, EZ CUBE or EZ BLOCK 500.
Tent Ballast
Bolt the EZ ROUND TENT SOCKET or the EZ SQUARE TENT SOCKET onto any EZ BLOCK to make a clean steel tent anchor. You don't need water barrels or concrete. The tent pole drops into the socket and locks in place.
Truss, Pipe and Staging Accessories
Finish your setup with the EZ BASE PLATE, EZ DRAPE PLATE, EZ RIG POINT, and EZ SCREWJACKS for leveling.

Can I buy an EZ BLOCK?
Yes. You can rent or buy the EZ BLOCK 500, the EZ CUBE and all their accessories.
How do you move an EZ BLOCK?
Handle it with care, because it's heavy by design. Use a rated dolly, a HUG with a forklift, or a pipe slid all the way through the block.
How do you connect EZ BLOCKS together?
Bolt an EZ HUG steel plate across the top of two or more units, and they become a single unit with their combined weight.
