Fastfoot® Residential Footing Installation

http://www.fab-form.com
Fastfoot® is a fabric footing form that prevents rising damp. Stakes are driven into the ground, 2x4 screed boards attached at the correct height, and Fastfoot® is stapled to each 2x4 to form and protect the concrete from ground moisture.

where is vibration for concrete....

[FabFormIndustries]

@orbiteq19 with typical wood footings, they are afraid to vibrate as the concrete can continue to pour out the bottom of the screed boards. On this job they did vibrate without any issues. Also, as you can see in the video, they can kick the Fastfoot® to consolidate the concrete.

If they'd have used 12" form material in place of the 1x4 they'd have been done at that step, other than top cleats and steel, and would have cleaner, stronger forms. Hiring a professional may look more expensive at the beginning of a project, but is always less costly.

Great for uneven ground, very strong yet easy to cut. Still requires lots of work, forms still need perfect placement, height, leveling, plumb, etc. If deep, (over 12") you need lots of extra wood form still. 2x6s or 2x8s, multiple rows of support wood, vertical every 3-4' , every vertical supported, cross ties every couple feet. Then it works great. Very light, easy to place after forms built, contours to surface well. Greatly reduces work on uneven ground, it will contour to it all.
