Bigfoot Systems® deck build Testimonial for Bigfoot Systems®

 "Our deck project was a big undertaking for us as we were doing everything ourselves. Due to the size of the deck,as well as being a two level deck, we wanted to ensure it was going to be sturdy and wouldn't move over time. That's why we decided to use Bigfoot.

Positioning the Bigfoot footing and Bigfoot tubes was fairly easy. Being able to have the footings in place and having the holes back-filled made it easy to have the concrete poured. As my property is sloped, cutting of the tubes to the correct height was also fairly easy.

The web site was a good source of information as well. I was able to estimate the amount of concrete I required by using the concrete calculator. We were also able to view may different deck styles and got some good ideas for our deck.

We are very happy with how our deck turned out and look forward to many years of family gathering and barbecues."

Bigfoot Systems® tube BFT8

The Bigfoot Tube (BFT8) is an 8" tapered cone made of recycled HDPE.The innovative inter-locking design uses 4 individual pieces to form a 4-foot long tube. The 4 pieces are nestable - making shipping easy and affordable.

The Models BF20 and BF24 Bigfoot Systems® Footing Forms will accept the new BFT8 which is simply snapped in place onto the Bigfoot.

  • Safety top keeps dirt, rain, kids, pets, etc. from falling into the tube prior to the pouring of the concrete

  • BFT8 will not break down due to dampness as the cardboard products do, therefore may be left in the ground until ready to pour concrete

  • The combined Bigfoot and BFT8 can cost 20+% less than the competitors and requires 33% less concrete to fill

Bigfoot Systems® fitting form

The Bigfoot Base Cap was designed to use the Bigfoot Systems® in wet areas to prevent the concrete from losing its strength when submersed in water.

By using the Cap it allows the user to submerse the system, which will produce a pier and footing in the water.

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."

 - Doug Steadman, PEng.
