DeckEzy Foundation Block

The Deck Foundation That Installs Itself

No digging. No concrete. No heavy lifting. Just a solid foundation, fast.

One block, endless builds. DeckEzy Foundation Blocks support 4x4" or 6x6" posts, single or double 2" joists, and decks up to 36" high without engineer sign-off, all backed by a 25-year warranty.

What Can You Build

Four build types cover most jobs. Pick the one that matches your site, then follow the walkthrough.

How It Works

No digging, no concrete, no heavy lifting. Set the block on the ground, seat your post or joist directly into the molded pocket, and build. The wide central channel supports single or double 2" joists, while the reinforced base handles 4x4" or 6x6" posts without extra hardware.

Installation

Every build starts the same way: position your blocks, seat your posts or joists, then frame and deck as normal. Full walkthroughs are available for Low Profile, Sloped Surface, Raised Profile, and Mixed Footing builds.

Always check local building codes before you build. Never modify, cut or manipulate a block.

FAQ

DeckEzy Foundation Blocks are compatible with 4x4" and 6x6" posts, with no extra hardware required.

The central channel supports a single 2" joist, or two standard 2" joists side by side if your design calls for extra strength.

DeckEzy Foundation Blocks are available exclusively through Menards, both in-store and online at menards.com.

Every DeckEzy Foundation Block is backed by a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects when installed and used as intended. Modifying, cutting, or altering a block in any way voids the warranty.

Yes. DeckEzy handles sloped and uneven ground easily, with post heights cut individually to suit each block. For sloped sites, dig out beneath the block until it sits flat rather than building up underneath it.

Decks up to 36" high using 4x4" or 6x6" posts don't require engineer sign-off. For taller structures or high-wind areas, combine DeckEzy Foundation Blocks with concrete footings and check your local building code.
