This is a great Product
I needed something sturdy like this for my son’s school’s trunk or treat. I signed up to make the canisters from Monsters Inc. I purchased one and was able to get them cut in half in order to get two. Worked perfectly for what I needed because I needed something with a bit of weight so it wouldn’t fall when placed on the floor.

Ideal Form Tube For Setting 4x4 Posts
This form tube is easy to use and helps to simplify the process of setting concrete for posts or columns.
The manufacturer provides printed instructions on the outside of the tube form. Most important is that this form tube which is made of treated cardboard must be completely dry prior to concrete being poured into it for the tube form to maintain maximum strength and integrity.
The manufacturer also specifies the amount of concrete mix required per foot on the outside of the form tube to fill the length of the form tube. The diameter of the form tube is +/- 0.5 inch to make it cheaper and easier to ship several form tubes by nesting them inside of each other. I used three 80 pound bags of concrete mix to fill all of the 48" length of this 8" diameter tube form and had some concrete left over. It is always better to have some concrete left over then it is to not have enough concrete because concrete must be mixed properly and poured all at once for all of the concrete to bond correctly as one solid mass before the concrete sets.
The 8" diameter of this form tube is an ideal size for setting 4x4 posts since the Strong Tie post bases recommend 2" of concrete on all sides of their bases.
8" diameter is also just large enough to be able to use a spade shovel to compact the concrete as it is poured into the tube form.

TUBE DIAMETER IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE 8" SIZE
by
Response from Sakrete Customer CareNov 29, 2023
- Home Depot Customer, this is considered nesting. Typically, this is done with three tubes. The reason all 3 of these tubes meet the same diameter requirements is the industry allows for a +/- .5-in variance, with the intention to allow for nesting. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us at 1-866-SAKRETE.

SQUARE FOOT Model SF22 Plastic Footing Form 22 in. x 16-1/2 in. x 22 in. used in conjunction with 8 in. and 10 in. concrete forming tubes. Depending on your project size will determine what size of column should be used in conjunction with our footing. Footing Forms provide greater concrete-bearing capacity and footprint to ensure the safety, strength and stability of your project. The excavation and placement of footing combined with column, backfilling and concrete pouring all in one day. The four parallel footing sidewalls easily facilitate the use of rebar without custom fabrication. Four structural points of contact to the ground make leveling easier. What was once a 3-day process being can now be completed in hours. Our unique square design provides the strongest footing by distributing loads over a larger footprint, providing for future product design, such as conversion of a deck to a sunroom or addition. In areas with frost, a 6 in. minimum footing thickness produces a thicker footing which greatly reduces uplift and lateral movement caused by frost heave. Reduces swelling in areas with expansive soil conditions such as clay, sand, silt and other soils. The SF22 uses 2 cu. ft. of concrete, equivalent to 3 lb. to 80 lb. bags easily found in the same concrete department. SQUARE FOOT conforms to all international and national building code requirements.
