Sizes are typical and weights are approximate. Use the actual product weight and lifting provisions when selecting handling equipment.
Read the dimensions with their units
The 2×2×6 name lists width, height and length in feet. In length-first order, it is 6′ × 2′ × 2′. A half block is three feet long, with the same two-foot width and height.
Calculate your order weight
Multiply the number of full blocks by 3,600 lb and half blocks by 1,800 lb, then add the totals.
| Example order |

36,000 lb |
| 8 full and 4 half blocks |
(8 × 3,600) + (4 × 1,800) |
36,000 lb |
| 13 full blocks |
13 × 3,600 lb |

Estimate row length from block dimensions
A full block adds about six feet to a straight row; a half block adds three feet. Four full blocks and one half block total 27 feet before layout allowances for corners and gaps.
Send the total length, planned height and any corners if you need help estimating quantity. For stacked or retaining walls, use your designer's layout.
Plan delivery and unloading
Send your ZIP, quantity and preferred date. Include the receiving contact, site access and unloading equipment. Ask about unloading or placement if you need it included.
