Building the footing forms


I designed and built the forms for the footings in the shop building on site. I had some sheets of 3/4" exterior grade plywood that had been used and reused and used again so I decided to use them as forms. I cut them into the appropriate size pieces and used 2x4's as the frame and built the forms. they are 20" square by 9" deep at the bottom then 12" square and 48" high from there. There is over 30' of 3/8" rebar inside each form.

The galvanized post clamp seen at the top is firmly attached to the rebar cage on the inside.
