Money-Saving Garage Foundations |
|
A Pressure Treated Posted Foundation is a pier foundation system that is built using 6 x 6 pressure treated posts that are set every 8' on center around the perimeter of the building. To ensure longevity, posts with a higher concentration of pressure treatment, rated for ground contact, should be used. Those used by The Barn Yard and Great Country Garages, for example, come with a 100-year warranty, so rotting posts are not a concern. The posts get cut off flush near ground level and a pressure treated sill beam is placed on top of them. The wall framing is then built up from there. Once the shell of the building is complete, a concrete floor can be poured. This done, most people never notice the difference between a posted foundation system and the more common concrete frost wall foundation.
The advantage of a posted foundation system is that it is less expensive than a concrete frost wall foundation. This is because it eliminates much of the cost of concrete and excavation. In order to begin a pressure treated posted foundation system, the building site must first be made flat and level. While some people choose to prepare the site themselves, this service is offered by our professionals. Of course, every site is different and the ground conditions and site work requirements will not be the same. The individual site must be looked at first in order to give recommendations on what type of foundation would be most suitable.
