Pre-Cast Reinforced Concrete Columns
Pre-cast reinforced concrete columns designed specifically for post-frame construction utilize a bracket that extends 18 inches above grade to which a solid-sawn post or laminated column is affixed.
- A standard non-treated wood column can be bolted into the “U” shaped connection bracket, eliminating the need for treated wood.
- Reinforced concrete columns are made of 10,000 p.s.i. pre-cast concrete with built-in corrosion and freeze/thaw protection. This special blend ensures superior durability to the standard 3,000-4,000 p.s.i. concrete typically found in most building foundations.
- With an innovative uplift system, no ready-mix concrete is needed for installation. This allows the builder to combine the efficiency of post-frame construction with the durability of concrete.
- Pre-cast reinforced concrete columns maintain their value and give the building owner peace of mind.
