*For 12" tubes, score and snap off every second flap.
4. Starting from the bottom of the tube working upwards, apply duct tape to 1" above the flaps so that tube is secured into footing.
3. Level and align with other forms. Shovel and tamp small amounts of back-fill on and around base to hold in place.
*Footing base must be below regional frost line.
4. Back-fill to grade maintaining tube vertical level and in alignment with other columns leaving a recommended 6"-12" of tube protruding.
* Please call or message us for any other technical document or support
1. Excavation should be below recommended regional frost line for your area.
