FootingPad® composite footing pads carry the same load as a poured or precast concrete footing of the same size, without the mixing, the delivery truck, or the multi-day cure. Set it in the hole, build on it the same day, and move on to the next post. Every size is ICC-ES code compliant (ESR-2147) for IBC and IRC projects, so your inspector is covered too.
Five sizes fit any post on your job site. Find yours below and add it straight to your order, or browse the full range of post frame building supplies if your project needs more than footings.

New to composite footings? Our guide on what FootingPad® post footings are and how they work walks through the full comparison against poured concrete.
| Size | Fits Posts | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|
| FP10 – 10″ | 4×4 and larger | Fences, light posts, small deck footings |
| FP12 – 12″ | 4×4 and larger | Deck posts, porches, gazebos |
| FP16 – 16″ | 6×6 and larger | Post-frame building columns, larger decks |
| FP20 – 20″ | 6×6 and larger | Pole barns, heavier structural loads |
| FP24 – 24″ | 6×6 and larger | Largest structures, lower-bearing-capacity soils |
Get it right the first time. The best size depends on your structure’s load and your soil’s bearing capacity, looser or sandy soil generally calls for a larger pad than dense clay under the same load. Call 800-798-5562 or contact us and we’ll help you spec it out. If you’re weighing composite against precast, compare the rest of our foundation bases and footing pads side by side.
Is a FootingPad actual concrete? No. It’s a fiber-reinforced composite engineered to match a concrete footing’s performance at the same size, without the weight, the wait, or the truck.
Is FootingPad code-compliant? Yes. It’s independently tested and holds ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-2147 for IBC and IRC compliance. Bring a copy for inspectors who haven’t worked with it before.
Can I use FootingPad for a pole barn? Yes, it’s commonly used under post-frame building columns, including Perma-Column®, treated wood, and laminated posts. For the bigger picture, see our breakdown of the best foundation for post-frame buildings.
Do I need to mix concrete to install one? No. Set it in the hole and build the same day, no mixing, no cure time, no wasted trip.
How does the cost compare to pouring concrete? Material cost is only part of the picture once you factor in labor, cure time, and lost days. Our cost comparison of Perma-Column and traditional alternatives breaks down where the savings actually come from.
Every FootingPad ships ready to install, no delivery trucks, no curing, no lost days on the job site. Pick your size above and get building, or explore the full Midwest Perma-Column product line to round out your foundation order.
