Questions & Answers
Are these waterproof if so for how long looking to build small bridge across creek . Creek is currently dry but after digging test hole water table is approx. 15 inches below ground wandering if would be water proof long enough to let cement set up
QUIKRETE® Quik-Tubes are wax-lined cardboard building forms. They are not designed, and are not evaluated for water-repelling capacity.
Can the 48" concrete tube be cut into two 24" tubes?
QUIKRETE® QUIK-TUBE Building Forms can be used for installations smaller than four feet in depth. The forms are easily cut to size with a hand-saw or utility knife.
Is a 10" tube sufficiently wide for installing 3"W x 8'H metal chain link fence posts (6' above ground) with 3 wood runners and wood pickets or would the 12" tube be required to provide the necessary support?
QUIKRET® cannot provide structural engineering recommendations. We recommend contacting a design professional in your area familiar with local building codes. Once the installation design is established, we will be glad to recommend products which will fill your requirements.
Can you use the "FOR SETTING POSTS" (i.e. "no-mix") installation method for chain link fence posts with these forms as opposed to a pre-mixing install? I would typically not need the forms, but need to install these posts slightly above-ground.
QUIKRETE® QUIK-Tube® Building Forms are not suitable for dry-placement installations as the tubes are was coated and will not permit water transfer to and from the surrounding soil to ensure proper curing.
how deep for the 10 inch sonotube to withstand cat 3 hurricane for a pergola footing? TY
About 20 years ago I was building a covered front porch on my house, which was located on a barrier island. The inspector would not approve footings made with the tubes. It would be best to contact your county or town for advice on your project.

How many bags of cement do I need on a 10? x 48? tube
It depends if you’re putting anything in it, like a fence post or something. But if you’re using it for a deck footer then the 12” took a little over (2) 80 lb bags if I recall correctly. So the 10” would probably take a little less than (2) 80 lb bags.
Just did two 10” tubes…full 48” and 3 - 80 lb bags each was plenty.
Ten-inch QUIKRETE® Quik-Tubes require one 80-pound bag of QUIKRETE® Concrete Mix per foot of depth. Yields will vary with waste, uneven subgrade, etc.
If an inch or two of the tube ends up above ground, can it be easily cut away from the concrete footing after a week or so giving the concrete ample time to set?
QUIKRETE® Building Forms are designed so they can be easily cut with a box cutter or similar razor blade.
can i use this for a small 7' x 12' deck only 2' in height?
