Perma-Columns provide the quickest and least expensive concrete foundation for post frame construction.
No! Perma-Columns are poured in a controlled environment using the latest pre-casting and curing technology. Additives are incorporated to enhance strength, density, corrosion and freeze-thaw resistance, yielding a high density concrete that has a compression strength of 10,000 psi.
Place a laser level on top of the auger head as the post holes are dug to insure that all holes are a uniform depth. For greater accuracy, backfill the bottom of the holes with tamped stone before setting posts.
Most current generation treated wood available today is designed to minimize corrosion. However, if you have a high moisture application or are concerned about corrosion, place a barrier between the treated wood and steel bracket and use stainless steel fasteners.
It is recommended that the same size footing required for a wood support column be used for a Perma-Column. Following this process ensures proper load-bearing requirements are achieved.
