Blocks, mortar and weight

A block wall's material list comes down to three things: how many blocks cover the wall face, how many bags of mortar hold them together, and how much the finished wall weighs — which matters for footing design and for figuring out how many pallets a delivery truck can carry.

The block wall calculator handles all three from a single wall length and height, with standard 8×8×16 block as the default and four other common sizes to choose from. If you already have a block count and just need the weight, the block weight calculator skips straight to that.
