Common Questions
What if my frost line is deep? Column extenders attach to the base of the column to add embedment depth.
What about high wind areas? Uplift anchors bolt to the base of the column for added holding strength.
My plans show a slab or stem wall. Can I still use your products? Yes. Sturdi-Wall® brackets anchor wood columns to the top of the concrete. Tell us which foundation your plans show.
Will my engineer accept it? Send them the ICC-ES report and our design guide with calculations. Both are free to download.
How heavy are the columns? 165 to 345 pounds each, depending on the model. Most crews set them with a skid steer or loader.
Can the slab pour against the columns? Yes. The slab pours against concrete instead of wood.
