Hi, I'm Tim Carter and I'm here at The Remodeler Show in Chicago and I just stumbled across
0:09
a really neat booth. If you're getting ready to build a deck, a new deck, and you've got
0:14
to put in concrete piers and you're just wondering how in the world are you going to do that
0:18
and get it right, look at this. You're not going to believe it. This is called the Form
0:26
fitter, or the form footer actually, and look at this cool system. It's all plastic. It's all these
0:33
different parts, and here's the best part. See all this rebar in here? This already comes pre-cut
0:43
It comes part of the package. It all just snaps together. You can see these little locks here. So
0:50
they haven't put this other side on so that you can see inside of it, and of course if you need
0:55
If you need to go higher same thing You just take another section and it snaps right into here depending on how high you need to go out of the ground you know for frost you know because you
1:07
going to have to get these things below the frost level at your house. Really interesting
1:10
product, sells for less than $100. And once again, you just dig the hole, drop this in
1:17
the steel's already pre-cut, you're ready to go. If you need to go higher, you just actually
1:22
tie two extra pieces of rebar onto this to go up higher if that's what you need
1:28
It's probably the most ingenious form footer system I've ever seen. I wish I had these back when I was building decks
