Perfect Solution for Deck Board Acclimation
This past summer we replaced our deck and, after researching best practices for installing cedar decking, we purchased the PaintBlox Pro system to properly acclimate the boards before installation. This system does exactly what's recommended: keeps boards off the ground on level supports with consistent spacing between layers, allowing proper airflow so the material can adjust to local temperature and humidity. This helped prevent warping, cupping, and cracking. Our decking is 20 feet long, and this was the only system we found that could easily handle boards of that length. On top of that, the price and simplicity are hard to beat. The PaintBlox Pro system worked exactly as intended, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommended.

Great Product!
I bought a box of these to use to dry 70 pieces of trim we were painting to go in a new house. We found these to be super simple to use and they are very rugged! Worked great, no support pieces ever touch the painted side of the wood as with other stacking systems. The system also kept all of the wood we wanted to use in one very compact area that was out of our way instead of spread out all over the job site. We had three different types of trim on this project and when it came time to install the trim, we wanted to start with the header pieces which of course were on the bottom of the pile. Normally you'd have to unstack the entire pile to get at the pieces you need below. With this system however you can remove any piece (even from the very bottom of the pile) without having to move anything else in the pile. These were a huge time saver and provided us with much better organization of materials on the job site. I've since bought another box. My friend noted that you could also use these in a wood shop or barn to store and dry lumber in a very organized fashion too. If I could give this product ten stars I would!!

Best/simplest rack system!
I purchased to help maximize space to set trim boards to dry for paint and stain, and was very impressed with how much space we saved with this product! We went from filling multiple built-in racks, and 400+ sq. ft. in bucket and board system, to only 100 sq. ft. used for over 1,000 Lf of trim with more room to continue stacking! Highly recommend for big shops, garage projects, or on-site storage conservation!

This is the perfect tool to help with the finishing projects that I get into. These little things took me from being able to finish 3 or 4 sheets of smartsiding in my garage to doing 15 in one shot! They are amazingly sturdy and stack nicely for storage which for me is very important. Excellent choice for my application and probably for most hobbyists or DIY enthusiasts.

These are awesome!
These are awesome! They are light weight, strong, easy to clean, easy to store. They are easy to take to a job site or use in our garage. I can use as large or small a set up I need. The calculator on the webpage was easy to use and perfect for helping decide which kit we needed to purchase. Gavin the owner responds quickly to inquiries. This is a great product and I am so glad we found it. They are perfect for our small business. I love that we are supporting a fellow small business owner and operator. Highly recommend!

Drying rack solution for a pre-finishing job
Last week we wrapped up a job pre-finishing some tongue and groove boards that will be installed as soffit on a house. We looked for a drying rack solution going into the project and discovered PaintBlox blocks. They are awesome! They are light weight, strong, easy to set up. Just add furring strips from the lumber yard and go. The website has a great calculator that helps you determine how many blocks you need for your project. We highly recommend. The stain is Benjamin Moore Woodluxe Transparent stain Mahogany which we picked up at the Barkley location of Stockton's in Bellingham, WA. Reach out if you have a project you'd like help with.
