As a home owner who is building their own deck I would like to pass on to others how easy the Footing Tube is to install. I have also used the Big Foot/Sono tube product (nothing against this product) but as a DIY home owner I found that because the Footing Tube is one piece it was a lot easier to keep straight/level while back filling my trench. I very strongly recommend this product for its ease of installation. FYI for other DIY persons, if one is NOT pouring concrete on the same day that the forms are installed you want to use this product, as rain is not friendly with cardboard sono tubes. Yes, it does cost more but it is money well spent.

If in HRM, you will need the 10/12 size, as for some reason the 8 inch does not measure up to code.
