There's nothing like using your own hands to build something that's such a big part of a home. But there's one part of the building process that always proves challenging and rarely enjoyable: Dealing with messy concrete and wasting days setting the footings! Anyone who has ever mixed concrete knows it's the messiest part of the building process.
Here's where you can read some of the documentation about RediFooting, including a link to the installation instructions and the science behind our deck and shed footings. For more information about our footings, you should also visit our Frequently Asked Questions page. The engineering test was completed in 2002 by Geisser Engineering Corporation and RediFooting has been used to build thousands of decks, sheds and other outdoor projects since. The results of the Engineering test is what you may need to provide to your building inspector.
If soil conditions are poor, you may dig out the hole a little more and place an unopened bag of concrete in the bottom of the hole. No! Do NOT fill the pipe with cement. Redi-Footing has been thoroughly tested (see documentation for testing results) and the PVC, Cap, and Base properly assembled with pins is all that is required.

Why deal with thousands of pounds of cement? I used Redi Footings for two sun decks. One 16 by 16 and one 24 by 24. Redi Footings makes the job much easier. Dig you footing holes, measure the 4 inch PVC pipe, place it in the hole and fill the hole in with gravel and dirt. It is that easy. I live this product.
