Lightweight and easy to handle on the job site, FootingPad® composite footings provide the equivalent strength and durability of concrete footers — at a fraction of the time, cost, and weight. Patented, guaranteed, and certified code compliant by the ICC-ES, FootingPad composite footings are engineered to meet or exceed the load capacity of concrete.
In contrast to their lightweight design, the advanced engineering of FootingPad composite footings creates a building component superior to concrete footings of equal diameter. FootingPad composite footings use a proprietary fiber-reinforced polymer composite that is impervious to damaging elements such as water, insects, and oxygen, providing exceptional strength and durability.
Eliminate the hassles of transporting heavy concrete cookies or the delays associated with waiting for concrete to cure. Weighing as little as 1 pound each, FootingPad composite footings are easy on your crews and easy to install with existing tools and construction methods.
Independently tested and certified by the ICC-ES, FootingPad composite footings meet the 2021 International Building Code® (IBC) and the International Residential Code® (IRC). With a proven 10-year track record, lifetime guarantee, and more than 800,000 installed, FootingPad composite footings are trusted by contractors and code officials throughout the United States.
Ideal for any deck type or size, FootingPad composite footings efficiently replace concrete footings of equal diameter. They are available in a range of sizes.
Made of 100% recycled material, FootingPad composite footings consume less energy in manufacturing versus concrete. The composite production process produces virtually no scrap. Lightweight FootingPad composite footings require less fuel to transport than 80-pound bags of concrete per post hole.
