Compare the Bigfoot difference
The Bigfoot Advantage We think Bigfoot Systems® Footing Forms are the best value for your money, and here’s why:
- With one-day installation and one-easy pour to complete the footing, Bigfoot Systems® Footing Form system will save you time, aggravation, and hours of labour costs over the traditional wooden-box method. Have a look at a comparison of the two methods .
- Bigfoot Systems® Footing Forms are bell-shaped with a round base , and that means greater strength, greater stability, the ability to shed water away from the footing, and it’s easier to plumb and level.
- Our footing forms are made from recycled high density polyethylene. This material is built to last !
- Our footing form is round and will fit into a drilled hole! Square footing forms don’t fit into drilled holes, they are more difficult to level, and they take more concrete than a round-based footing form.
- Our footing forms acts as an anchor to prevent uplift in areas subject to high velocity winds.
- Bigfoot Systems® Footing Forms have been stringently tested and code evaluated throughout North America.
Round VS. Square
The footprint of the Bigfoot Systems® Footing Form is round while the footing form itself is bell-shaped. A round base is scientifically proven to provide greatly increased stability. It transfers weight evenly offering superior footing strength. Round footings are also easier to plumb and level.
Other Advantages of a Round Footing
- You can't drill a square hole.
- When it comes to below-grade installation, our form will also save you time and labor costs.
- A bell-shaped footing with a round base takes less concrete than a square-based footing with the same diameter or width.
