Footing Forms For Residential Use Clamps/brace For Plywood Forms

plazaman

Im currently working on a complete makeover where Im doing an addition. The area has been excavated and form work to begin. We usally make our forms out of plywood, and used treaded rods to hold them in place. I dont want to invest in a whole form system right now, but is there some sort of clamp/brace that I use with my plywood forms?

looks like a whole system, we done away without it today, seems fine for tomorrows pour. Im looking for a simple bracket that will hold my footing forms in place.

My favorite cheap tie is made from the banding straps pulled out of the dumpster at the lumber yard. punch a couple holes in the spring steel and bend a couple of 90's, put an 8d sinker in it and it'll hold as good as any snap tie, or gates, or advanced, or simplex tie. I've used them all. With the banding strap I usually mix a few fha type straps for seperation.

Oh and if i get in a weird corner with snap ties etc. and wonder if it'll hold, I go to the truck and get a free banding strap., and don't worry. Nothing makes you work harder than a blow out.

This might be the type of thing you want.
