    I’m so glad I found this video. I’m building a tree fort. I’ve got my holes dug, needed a little skid steer with an auger to get through the roots.
    I’m making my frames for the sono tubes tonight/tomorrow. I like your design better than the one I was using, and I have enough lumber to do it.
    The bucket/measuring tip is huge! I was pressed about eyeballing consistency with a hose.

      Put it as straight as possible, it really doesn't matter a ton. its only locking down the bracket, when you crank on it, it will get tight even if its not perfectly plumb.

  • @fluffymittens24

  • @jamesericg
    @jamesericg 3 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Did code require the sono tube to go the full 4 feet? Seems that you could have cut the tube at 15-20” and then supported it for level the same way you did. The concrete pouring into the hole with the odd shape of the earth will hold them very well versus the perfect round tube. Just curious. Great work. Very sturdy for sure.

    • @BreakFreeHomestead
      @BreakFreeHomestead  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The tubes are only like $10, i guess you could do that but I don't really see why you would want to do that. I would imagine frost could affect the pier more without being the perfect tube.

    • @ma7rix13
      @ma7rix13 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Code is to go to local frost line. I do believe the tube actually protects the concrete from the elements. What he did seems pretty textbook to me 👍

      You are correct!! There is no need for the donations to go in the ground. Actually it is better to pour the concrete to the earth instead of the sonatube. It would be much stronger poured to the earth.

    @alexanderson-is9nh ปีที่แล้ว

    Did you put the level on the string line when adjusting height for sonotube? To make sure they were all the same height? Bc I seen when you cut the 6x6 for the beam you only measured the outside 6x6 and not all three.

    • @BreakFreeHomestead
      @BreakFreeHomestead  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, i just left them at ground height and used three separate 6x6 measurements to support the beam. That way one didn't have to go in the ground more and risk having ground contact with the posts.

    @theexplorestore8383 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video! Does one fill in the empty space on the outside of the sonotubes with sand after the concrete has hardened? What keeps the piers from not tilting sideways when a little horizontal pressure is placed onto them since the concrete is pushing against the inner wall of the tube and not the inner wall of the hole?

    • @BreakFreeHomestead
      @BreakFreeHomestead  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      We just backfilled with the sand dirt mix that we had pulled from the hole as the home site was raised when built.
      We tied all three piers together with a beam and then with joists so it really cant go anywhere. But they're more sturdy than you'd think.

    Sonatube is for above ground not in the ground!! It’s better to pour concrete to the earth and not the Sonatube!! Pouring to the earth will make it more stable.

      Thats a weird claim...
      Directly from Sonotubes website "Sonotube Builder’s Tube concrete forms are designed for below-grade
      use, but may be poured up to three feet above backfill line. No bracing
      is needed unless used two feet or more above ground line."

      @@BreakFreeHomestead explain to me what is the purpose it has in the ground?
      Installing the sonatube in the ground leaves voids on the outside of the tube. If you just use it on the part that is above grade and let the concrete fill up the hole you dug there is no voids. They are just wanting you to buy more Sonatube by sticking in the ground.

      ​@BillHickman-s3e I understand what your saying and do get the choice for using in this application and not using. I'm trying to decide right now whether to. The only benefit I can see is that it will create the perfect cylinder shape in the ground & not the upside down triangle shape which we know is common and helps the concrete to push up with frost.

    hey bro what size or # of rebar did you use for the 12" diameter sonotube ?

    • @BreakFreeHomestead
      @BreakFreeHomestead  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I believe this was half inch and three should be sufficient per tube.

      Maybe you should check your code. Seems like a pretty ignorant thing to say considering code is 48” here in nh.

    If you use scraps to temporary your Deck frame in place before you waste time locating your footings... You will save time by 10x as well as accuracy. The only time pros locate footings beforehand is when we are building a house or commercial building. This gave me a good laugh though ....😂😂😂😂
