FAST-TUBE™ - PERFECT COLUMN FORM FOR AUGURED HOLES

1.

Cut a 1x2 about 2' longer than the Fast-Tube™. Center the tube weld over the 1x2 and nail the top and bottom ends of the weld to the 1x2 using 3/4" shingle nails. For tubes longer than 5', staple along the weld at 18" on center with 3/8" staples.

The 1x2 can also be placed on the inside of the tube if desired.

2.

Place the Fast-Tube in the hole to the correct depth...

3.

And fill with concrete.

4. Brace 1x2 if necessary. A perfect column every time. (Thanks to Henry Van Delft of Sunset Builders, Surrey, BC.)

Fast-Tube™ polyethylene fabric provides the perfect slip plane to eliminate frost uplift of the concrete column.
