what does a cement block weigh?

[rusty ol ranger]

Just a standard 3 hole.

I googled it it said 30-35lbs. Seems a bit on the heavy side.

Curious im buyin sandbags for rusty 2.0 and wondering about how many 50lb bags is equal to the 6 cement blocks i used to put in rusty #1.

Like an average hollow cinder block?

Looks like 38 is what both Lowe's and Home Depot say. More than I would have thought too.

The ones in my yard are definitely less than 35lbs. I think they vary alot. I use 5 50 pound bags of sand and get great traction. Sand bags have the benefit of being useful as... uhh.. sand too. Get stuck open a bag and throw sand down.

Yours are probably over 100 years old and are true cinder blocks... get it, because you’re old.

30-35lbs sounds about right.

I get that a lot.

So 4 50 lb bags of sand is 200.

6 cement blocks are roughly 228 lbs.

So close enough.

Depends on the size of the block. They come in different widths. 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”. 8” wide is probably most common.

I assume 3 hole blocks weigh less then 2 hole blocks... holes weigh less then concrete.

 

[Dirtman]

How big is your hole though?

I know 30 of them could squat the Expedition onto the bump stops.

One cement block weighs as much as a block of cement.

You have to account for the 3 holes.

it depends on how many you have. the first one is the lightest, then they get progressively heavier.
