Bigfoot Systems ® are preengineered footing forms used as pier footings with construction tubes. Manufactured from recycled high-density polythene (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. Their product has a superior advantage in areas subject to hurricanes. Another important feature of Bigfoot Systems® Footing Forms is an easy one day installation. Traditional wooden form boxes can take up to three days to install. Bigfoot’s advantage rests with its shape – a bell shaped footing with a round base – which uses the natural laws of physics to evenly distribute the entire loads’ weight, solidly securing the footing to the earth.
Bigfoot Tube offers 8" (BFT8) in their product line. It is an 8" tapered cone made of the same recycled HDPE resin that has made their footing forms so dependable and popular with builders, contractors, and consumers.
