Footers

SAFENCE® utilizes a system of concrete footers with plastic sleeves to mount C-posts. The system assures correct SAFENCE® performance under various soil conditions while providing an easy means of placing or replacing C-posts.

• C-posts are mounted into plastic sleeves inside concrete footers.
• Plastic sleeves never rust, deform less during construction, and ice does not bond to them as readily as to steel.
• Footer specifications and spacing generally depend upon soil strength.
• Footers may either be prefabricated or cast on site.
• Pre-designed footers accommodate weak-toong soil types and various frost-line depths to simplify project specifications.
• Installation is to a depth of 24 inches.
• Plastic sleeves are inserted at time of pouring concrete.
• SAFENCE® offers the advantage of requiring smaller footers than other systems to reduce costs.
• Steel sleeves are available if required.
