Foundation systems for building shed
Foundation systems for building shed. Types of Foundations in Building Construction. Militia were using a pretty basic foundation system all it is the cinder 0:05blocks on top of some crushed stone that goes into the dirt six to eight inches 0:09we just don't the topsoil down until we hit some gravel fill the holes up with 0:14crushed on and then put cinder blocks on top but for a lot of other cases you 0:19have to use a more substantial putting either by colder just by common sense if 0:23you live in a high wind area or seismic zone and you want this show to stay put 0:28you have to do something with a bit more substantial than just putting it on a 0:31bunch of cinderblocks ok over here we have some different alternatives to the 0:35foundation systems this one actually isn't that much more substantial is just 0:40a little bit easier it's a heavier foundation heavier block than what I 0:44have their you don't want to sit on top of the grass for the subsoil wanna put 0:48on something more substantial like we did like gravel or crushed don't want to 0:52set there's a hole formed into it can accept a four-by-four post pretty 0:57tightly and obviously this is a little bit easier to do as far as leveling 1:02because you don't have to set these at all the same level like we did with the 1:06cinderblock these can go a little bit different levels and then you can cut 1:09the four-by-four to the exact level so you should stays level and then you have 1:13some sort of connector to connect the post to the blog system another 1:19alternative is called the ready for doing in this is plastic and consists of 1:24base atop an in-between isn't just a simple schedule 44 inch pipe 1:31putting down as far as you want it so you want to go below the frost line and 1:35around here it's about 42 inches I would dig down 42 inches set the base down in 1:41the hole you cut the schedule 40 pipe place this on top 1:47take together you don't have to glue it and it's all set back Phillip make sure 1:51it stays plum and there's you're putting the floor frame fits right inside the 1:57land is here and then there are couple of bolts the Bolton secure the frame 2:01already putting the nice thing about the ready for doing is that you don't have 2:06to wait for the Semantic cure the minute you dig the hole dropped the footing in 2:10put the top on back till it you can build right on top of 2:13it right away there's no curing time no mixing time none of that so it's a good 2:17alternative to use for a solid footing when you don't want to wait for the 2:20concrete most people are familiar with the builders to basically their forum 2:28for concrete footings again just like the ready footing you can dig down as 2:33far as you want whether it's a thought or three or four feet to get below the 2:37frost able to have one drop this down inside make sure it's in the right 2:41position have a sticking up maybe two or three inches above the finished grade 2:45back fill it and then filled with concrete finish great came to hear we 2:51fill it with concrete right to the top before the concrete cures drop in anchor 2:55bolts or sticking up about an inter to once that secured we have a concrete 3:01foundation here with a bankable sticking up about an interest to now to fasten 3:05the floor system to the putting their lot of different types of systems to 3:10connect a floor system down to putting like this this is just one where it'll 3:15drop right onto the anchor bolt then you put a washer and nut down and take it 3:20nice and tight what's the fasteners placed on the anchor bolt and fastened 3:25and we can put a four-by-four post in their secure that builder floor frame on 3:30top of that and again there are all sorts of different fastening systems to 3:34attach post to be being to floor connections the whole idea is you want 3:39to have a system that connects your floor system to the post to post the 3:43footing again the concrete footings the most substantial fooling you can have 3:48your shed decker any structure so we've got the block on the right footing we 3:55got a more substantial large concrete footing that accepts a four-by-four post 3:59we have already footing and then we have the full concrete
