Anchoring Concrete Block
The strength of a concrete block in tent anchoring
A concrete block is mainly used when traditional anchors are not possible. Thanks to the eye bolt on top, a tension strap can be easily attached, ensuring the tent remains tight and securely anchored.
Key benefits:
• Reliable stability on hard surfaces.
• Versatile use across different tent types.
• Easy to move with a forklift or pallet jack.
• Available in various sizes depending on the tent type.
• Immediately available from stock so you can get started right away.
Styling concrete blocks: from purely practical to elegant detail
Traditionally, concrete blocks have been seen as a necessary evil — heavy, grey, and far from aesthetic. Especially at weddings, corporate events, or stylish receptions, they can disrupt the overall atmosphere.
That’s why Above & Beyond offers jute covers for concrete blocks: a simple yet elegant way to turn practical anchoring into a refined design detail.
Benefits of jute covers
• Natural look: jute brings a warm, rustic touch that perfectly fits bohemian, country, or festival styles.
• Neutral and versatile: easily combined with different decoration styles and color palettes.
• Conceals the functional side: the industrial grey look of concrete is subtly hidden.
• Reusable: the covers are durable and can be used multiple times.
• Easy to use: simply slide the cover over the block and you’re done.
This way, a concrete weight transforms from a necessary eyesore into a subtle, stylish part of the overall setup.
Available concrete blocks
At Above & Beyond, you’ll find concrete blocks in various weights and sizes — perfectly suited for different tent types and weather conditions.
• 45 kg: ideal for small folding or inflatable tents. Equipped with a handle for easy placement.
• 145 kg: popular size for larger folding tents and medium structures. Comes with an eye bolt.
• 340 kg: suitable for bigger party tents or event structures that require extra stability.
• 650 kg: perfect for stretch tents and sailcloth tents, or locations with higher wind exposure.

All blocks are equipped with a bottom cut-out, making them easy to move with a forklift or pallet jack.
What to consider when purchasing concrete blocks?
Buying concrete blocks isn’t something you do without thought. Here are a few tips to help you make the right choice:
• Choose the right weight: a small folding tent requires lighter blocks, while large stretch or sailcloth tents need at least 340 kg or more.
• Check the anchoring options: an eye bolt makes it easy and safe to attach straps.
• Mobility: make sure the blocks have recesses underneath so they can be easily moved with a forklift or pallet jack.
• Stock and delivery: timing is crucial for events.
• Styling: want your blocks to blend seamlessly into your event setup? Consider jute covers.
With these tips, you’ll ensure that your tent setup is not only secure and practical, but also visually refined.
Styling ideas with jute covers around concrete blocks
A concrete block with a jute cover can be surprisingly versatile when styling your event. Here are some creative ways to integrate them:
• Bohemian wedding: combine jute covers with wooden poles, flowers, and string lights for a warm, romantic atmosphere.
• Festival style: let the raw charm of jute blend with colorful banners and playful decorations.

• Winter events: decorate the covers with pinecones, greenery, and warm lighting for a cozy winter look.
How to discreetly integrate concrete blocks into your event décor
A concrete block doesn’t always need to stand out. With a few smart tricks, you can subtly blend them into your overall décor:
• Place planters on top of the blocks to camouflage them.
• Use wooden crates to conceal the blocks completely.
• Add lighting or candles around the blocks to make them part of the atmosphere.
• Combine jute covers with fabric drapes or rugs for a cohesive, integrated look.

Beyond their aesthetic potential, concrete blocks remain above all a practical anchoring solution. Their main applications include:
