If you're planning any outdoor building projects, check out this find at Lowe's where you can pick up the TuffBlock 2-1/2-in Black Plastic Deck support for $9.68. Here is why people love using these instead of heavy concrete:

• An individual TuffBlock deck block has been designed to support over 1,700 lbs and has successfully been tested to support over 11,000 lbs yet weighs only 1.5 lbs--the perfect replacement for outdated concrete blocks.
• TuffBlock is designed to accept 2 In x 4 In, 2 In x 6 In and 2 In x 8 In joists and 4 In x 4 In posts, making it an ideal replacement for outdated heavy concrete blocks.
• TuffBlocks are made of high strength closed-loop recycled polyolefin material with an ultra-high UV rating.
• Designed with a ventilated underside to prevent moisture buildup and deter termites.
• Unlike concrete blocks, TuffBlocks do not chip, crack or corrode and are friendly to the environment.
• Also suitable for standard raised decks and variable height decks and can be used in combination with concrete and traditional steel support methods.
• Knobs that keep the wood from laying TuffBlock ensure that sitting water will not be in touch with and compromise the wood support,
• Can be installed in uneven terrain and are engineered to avoid water build-up around and underneath lumber.
• Unlike most concrete blocks, there is need to cut or chisel TuffBlocks in order to fit post or joist.
