Concrete Footers Guide Lines for a 20x30 Shop Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- 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.
Good job Seth ❤❤❤❤
Great job. Easy to listen.
Thank you.
Do you have any video about house extension? I need to extend my shed and want some fair idea.
Good skill
Hello Seth. In the last video where you've made this setup , you said that you will test the whole job with using the laser lavel when the night falls. You didn't do it. Neither in this video. I was just wondering if this old method of layout and leveling terrain is as accurate as modern laser levels.
I brought out the laser and it did not translate well on camera in The dark. The laser did show that I had around 1/4" off in spots.
crystal clear explanation
Happy to help.
Doing great 😎
Thank you. This place is coming along nicely.
@@sethcraftshop it’s looking awesome! Love the videos. Year after year the channel keeps getting better😃
Good job
Thank you.
Love it
These guid lines make a big difference. Especially with how poorly I judge a straight line.
What are the steps
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.
@@sethcraftshop building a pole barn and trying to rape my head around how far to span my openings.
@@sethcraftshopbut 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?
Im not a fan of tire wall
It has held up perfectly. Free too. However the look is not for everyone.
