ABOUT HANDI BLOCK
The Instant Foundation System Deck Blocks were introduced 25 years ago in the USA and since then instant foundation blocks have been embraced worldwide for creating strong and stable foundations for both professional and DIY projects. Handi Blocks are Australian-made from Evo-Crete, an ultra-lightweight concrete alternative with fibre reinforcement. Each block weighs approximately 8kg. Instant foundation blocks have revolutionised the way we look at deck and raised platform construction, with millions of projects completed each year using this lightweight, secure and easy-to-use system. Ready to use Handi Blocks are an extremely popular alternative to digging holes, mixing concrete and waiting for it to set. Handi Blocks are more than just a deck foundation, they are a versatile utility block with endless applications to make completing your projects a breeze.

Guide for spacing of joists Maximum 1.5m spacing along joists or bearers
EASY TO MODIFY
EARTH ANCHOR OPTION
The general rule of thumb is to space joists at 450mm centres (maximum). This spacing all depends on decking/platform material so check with your timber supplier for project specific recommendations. Joists can sit directly on Handi Blocks (e.g. Handi Blocks - Joists - Decking/Platform) or on top of a substructure (e.g. Handi Blocks - Bearers - Joists - Decking/Platform).
