FootingPad is the best foundation choice for post footers. Better than concrete! Faster, easier with less stress on labor and equipment. FootingPad is the only post footer to have gone through the extensive testing and annual inspections needed to receive ICC code compliance. ESR 2147 can be shown to any inspector to receive approval.
Great for decks and post-frame buildings (pole barn) or any other structure using a post in the ground foundation.
Installation does not change from normal building practices:
1. Dig your hole, level the bottom of the hole and place the FootingPad with the ribs facing up / smooth side down.
Hole depth is often determined by frost line in your area. Frost depth maps are readily available or check with your local building code official. In southern climates, hole depth is more likely to be determined by the lateral support required. While many variables impact this, lateral support for attached decks is provided by the house itself.
2. Place your post on the FootingPad. The FootingPad testing and ICC compliance allows the post to be adjusted so that it can sit off center.
3. Backfill dirt around your post.
For pressure treated posts, you can use PlastiSleeve to protect the wood from rot. 2018 IRC codes do not require complete concrete columns (piers). By using FootingPad, protecting the post and backfilling you eliminate the need to mix large amounts concrete, wait for it to cure and then haul off the excavated dirt.
4. Start building!

Easy to Use - 100% recycled material - American Made
Easy to install. Simply follow the steps above.
FootingPad is made of 100% recycled material. Using FootingPad eliminates the huge energy requirements to make concrete and the equally large amounts of fuel to haul concrete to job sites.
FootingPad is a proud brand of AG-CO, based in Michigan with a production facility in Ohio.

Which size FootingPad do you need?
FootingPad is the only post footer designed specifically for this application. It is made in a controlled environment, which is inspected annually to validate the materials and process adhere to the ICC certification. All load numbers build in a safety factor of 3 times (tested failure point was 3 times the approved load limit).
3,000 PSF soil, the load limits are:
16" FootingPad: 4,167 lbs
12" FootingPad: 2,355 lbs
16" FootingPad: 1,635 lbs
24" FootingPad: 9,000 lbs (est.)

Works with Pressure Treated, wood laminate, PermaColumn concrete posts
FootingPad works with all common posts for in-ground post frame foundations, including multi-ply laminate columns, pressure treated posts and high-strength concrete (such as PermaColumn).
PlastiSleeve post covers protect wood post from decay and they create a functional and cost-effective in-ground system.
Building Code Compliant
FootingPad is the only post footer that goes through the rigorous product testing needed for code compliance. Look for the ICC logo to verify your post footer has been tested for use as a post footer. Show your building inspector the ICC Evaluation Services report ESR-2147
Best Post Footer for decks and post frame
FootingPad post footers spread the weight of any structure over a larger surface area. Our patented design and proprietary material has tremendous compressive strength, so it will not crush or crumble. Compare 4 lbs for a 16" FootingPad versus 160 lbs (2 bags dry concrete mix)
