- Let's take this moment to talk about FOUNDATIONS! In this particular episode, I want to briefly touch on Morton's Foundation System (MFS). This our EXCLUSIVE system of giving YOU a solid foundation to construct your project for years and years of long-lasting and sturdy service! No more wood in the ground to rot or chemical preservatives for your family and friends to be exposed to. This is why YOUR building will be considered legit by the bank when you go to resell down the road. *It should be noted that BECAUSE of financing/banking issues of post frame style foundations, we will likely NOT be offering this for HOUSING.
For shops, garages, equestrian and livestock, and other buildings this is a PERFECT choice! You know that your foundation will be strong and last for generations to come! #MortonMoment
**Additional Notes for the "Tornado" Story: A tornado made a DIRECT hit on a Morton building with this MFS in place. Obviously, the building DID get destroyed. The wood columns broke away from the foundation system where the fasteners attach to the lumber at the MFS powder-coated upright plates. After checking for plumb, we simply reattached new lumber to the existing MFS and erected a new building! And because it was within the owner's first 5 years of ownership, our UNLIMITED 5 year wind warranty applied; We put the new building up, Labor AND Materials, under warranty! NO ONE else does that. If wood columns would been in the ground, history has shown that they either break off or pull out of the ground. Either way, it requires a lot more work for repairs and replacement.
4-ply 2x12. Damn son that ought to hold it.
Wondering is there a system for insulating the slab as a shallow foundation? And can a 2x rim de added to the outside so wall insulation can go right to bottom, with a bottom plate to keep critters out
Do you have videos showing the rest of the build?
Sorry, I don't. If I ever get back up there, I just might take another video of the building in it's current state
We have a Morton from 71 and the creosote poles are still good. We also have a Lester's and the poles rotted off and the steel color is almost gone.
I sure wish you could use creosote poles today.
@@mattbrown9484 can still get CCA as special order from Menards if you you prefer the old proven treatment.
Doesn't back-filling the holes right after the concrete is poured around your concrete posts weaken the concrete?
I understand your concern. Yet, to answer your question, no. The backfill covers the concrete and doesn't mix with it. It insulates if the weather is cold and also provides a nice compression weight. The main reason we back fill immediately is to help hold the columns firmly in place until the concrete can slightly harden
Hi what company does the uplift protection testing and how is it tested? Thanks
Company that does "uplift protection testing"?!?!? Really?! Is that a "thing"?! How about REAL world winds and tornadoes?! Does that count?!
can we buy those steel plate anchors retail? They look like a more advanced version of Sturdi-Wall.
Those plates in this video are attached to our proprietary concrete columns. And I do believe that we aren't able to sell those retail/ out the door, unfortunately. However, I recommend that you contact your local Morton buildings construction office and pose the question to the repair salesperson and they may have a better answer for you. But from what I understand, this stuff is only sold and installed with a complete build package
can we buy a morton building as a kit?
Unfortunately, you cannot. Each package is customized for your project. Our process involves sales, delivery, construction and a warranty NO ONE ELSE offers. Think of it this way.... Cadillac doesn't allow you to buy a "kit" for you to assemble and still provide a warranty. It's because of our trained crews(and exclusive Morton' materials) that we provide a warranty unmatched in the industry. Hope this answers your question
