Concrete Footers Guide Lines for a 20x30 Shop Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 чер 2023
- Before digging and pouring concrete footers for a 20x20 shop I need to setup guide lines. These string lines will keep a straight line to keep the five rows of footers in line with each other. I am going to be using 4x8 cap block on top of the footers so I have a little wiggle room but its nice to have string guides to keep the footers as close to right as I can.

Good job being meticulous on the lay out. Don't forget to mark the stakes for the string locations so that when they get yanked by the post hole diggers, you can put them back (or replace with new string) where they belong without having to re-level all the others.
Great job. Easy to listen.
Thank you.
crystal clear explanation
Happy to help.
Good job
Thank you.
Love it
These guid lines make a big difference. Especially with how poorly I judge a straight line.
Doing great 😎
Thank you. This place is coming along nicely.
@@sethcraftworkshop it’s looking awesome! Love the videos. Year after year the channel keeps getting better😃
How did you come up with the distance between your footers
A 2x6 has a max allowable span of 6 feet. So I went with 5 feet between footers to be on the safe side. That also allowed a 10 foot 2x6 to end on a footer.

@@sethcraftworkshopbut since 2x6 can be bought off the shelf in lengths of 12 or 16 feet, how did you come up with “a max allowable span” of just 6 feet? Seems like you would need to determine a rough estimate of the load on the boards under the exterior walls and roof vs under interior walls or extra heavy tools/appliances/tubs?
