Parking Lot Light Footing


Hello,

Next month I will be installing some parking lot lights. I am trying to locate a round concrete form that has a ribbed design in it rather then a standard round form so I can attach a reflective band around the finished base. Can anyone recommend a manufacture?

I was laughing too

You may have to use a normal form and use some foam board or something to make your rib.

Re: Parking Lot Light Footing


Do you want just one recessed rib or muiltiple ones?

Go to your local concrete supply house and ask for rubber reveal strips and some sonotube. Figure where in the tube you want the recessed rib. Line up the rubber inside the tube and then run some screws from the outside of the tube into the rubber reveal strip. After you pour remove the screws and then strip the form.
