Planning a new deck build?  Maybe a small space in the back corner of your yard where you can sit amongst the flowers and trees and read your favorite book.  Where do I start and what do I need?  Am I going to have to haul bags of concrete to my back yard for my footings?  That’s going to put a damper on my back for sure!  Well.  Would you rather carry a 80 lb bag of concrete or a 16 oz FootingPad?  The choice is clear there.  Do you need to raise your deck space up a bit from settling over the years?  How about a FootingPad?

 

FootingPads are great for tough to get in spots or maybe a floating deck.  These floating deck pads do the same work and supports the same weight as an 80lb bag of concrete.  You know what won’t happen over time with your FootingPad? 

 

  1. It won’t crack over time.  Giving you peace of mind.

  2. Doesn’t require cure time.  Start working right away.

  3. NO special equipment needed.

  4. Won’t make a mess on you, your yard, your garage etc.

  5. Requires no stirring or mixing

  6. EASY on your back!!!

 

Not only are FootingPads structurally sound but it’s a sound environmental choice too.  Made from 100% recycled composite material, dramatically lowering energy used to manufacture versus the concrete process.  Scrap free installation, so no waste or garbage to mess with.  Requires less fuel to transport and meets ICC-ES building code acceptance criteria (AC49)

 


What a great and easy way to get your “footing” in the door for your project.  10” 12” and 16” widths available at Deckmasters today.  Stop on in and ask for Brian.
