Thread: Big Bertha shed build

Interesting footing design. How far is it from the top of the ground to rock?

Interesting scaffold.

thats a huge construction job and you havent started on the shed yet.

The footings are a new product by SureFoot and use a galv pipe pier driven into the ground. Depth of pier according to soil testing but varies from 1200mm+ mine were 2400 long. these footings have better ratings then concrete footings and can be used on sites that you can't get machinery onto.
Work out around $150 per foot plus galv pipes. Far cheaper and easier than digging holes and concreting.

Do you concrete these as well?

If not what will happen in future years as the galv pipes rot out?

No concrete at all, just relying on the life span of the galv pipe.

Ha! That was a serious drill you're using there.

Big project. Thanks for posting the pics.
