Bigfoot Systems® plastic footing forms

Bigfoot Systems® plastic, pre-engineered footing forms are used with construction tubes. Dependable, versatile and built to last, Bigfoot delivers quality results fast. The Bigfoot is an innovative, award-winning product that works to save you time, money and aggravation.

Bigfoot Systems® are pre-engineered, plastic footing forms used as pier footings with construction tubes.

Manufactured from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Bigfoot is used not only as a pier footing, but also acts as an anchor to prevent uplift in areas subject to high-velocity winds. Because of this, our product has a superior advantage in areas subject to hurricanes.

Independently code evaluated!

Bigfoot meets or exceeds building codes across North America. Check your local building code to determine which plastic Bigfoot Systems® Footing Form fits your construction needs. Click for code details

Bigfoot to the big barn rescue!

This Michigan barn rescue using Bigfoot, (photo left) came about when Corey Welker discovered our product in home improvement magazine This Old House. Read his great testimonial below and see more of this project - click photos!

Testimonial for Bigfoot Systems®

"We were in the process of re-doing a barn over 100 years old when we came across your ad in This Old House magazine. We purchased your Bigfoot System in hopes of making our project easier to complete and more durable.

"We found the system to not only make the project go more smoothly, but change it from a two-step process to a one-step process. The foundation is now much more stable and hopefully will aid in keeping our barn around for another 100 years."

- Corey Welker, Michigan, USA

Other important features of Bigfoot Systems® Footing Forms:

Easy one-day installation saves time, money and aggravation.Traditional wooden form boxes can take up to three days to install.
Engineered design offers footings with greatly increased stability, safety and convenience
The Bigfoot advantage rests with its shape - a bell shaped footing with a round base. It uses the natural laws of physics to evenly distribute the entire load's weight, solidly securing the footing to the earth - acting as an anchor in the strongest of winds.

Bigfoot approval from engineer Doug Steadman

"The bell footing was developed through trial and error and proven mathematically and scientifically to provide greatly increased stability when the foundation is on suitable bearing material.

This has been extensively documented since the early 1920s and [is] now a routine part of engineering practice design."
