The Bigfoot Base Cap was designed for wet areas. It protects the concrete from
becoming diluted with water and losing its
strength during the pour.
Using the Bigfoot Base Cap allows the user to submerse the system for
a pier and footing along the shore be it river, lake or ocean.
Testimonial for Bigfoot Systems® DIY deck building
"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 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. - Richard Harrison, Nova Scotia
