Economy Form Tube

Lightweight and easy to handle, fiber form tubes are for one-time applications that reduce the cost of pouring footings, round columns and piers.

Each tube is made from a heavy-duty cardboard form designed to replace labor intensive wood forms.

Common uses:

• Deck footings (most common)
• Fence post foundations
• Mailbox posts
• Light poles or sign bases
• Structural columns for buildings
• Pier foundations

How it works

1. Place the tube vertically in a hole or on a base
2. Secure and level it
3. Pour concrete inside
4. Let it cure
5. The tube either stays in place or is peeled away

 Result: a clean, round concrete column or footing

Why contractors use it

• Keeps concrete perfectly shaped and aligned
• Prevents soil from collapsing into the pour
• Creates a smooth, professional finish
• Saves time vs building custom forms

“Economy” version meaning

The “economy” form tube:

• Is more lightweight
• Typically used for standard applications (not heavy structural loads)
• More affordable than heavy-duty versions

Real-world example

If someone is building a deck:

• They dig holes
• Drop these tubes in
• Pour concrete
• Then mount posts on top
