Easy Pier
Used these for front porch on new construction. Much easier than forming and pouring. Getting level, plumb, and elevation even is a little protracted but great product.

    THESE ARE SLICK!!! Sure beats the brains out of pouring cement. The only draw-back is the size of hole needed. In my case, because the footings needed to be placed so close together, i decided to just dig a trench. Super easy to install after that; back-fill, done ... BOOM!

    Hi Jim, thanks for your review of EZ-TUBE. We're surprised to hear that you had trouble with one of the upper sections, they are typically very strong and robust. However, they do sometimes get damaged in shipping. Do you have any photos you could send to info@ez-crete.com for our team to review what happened to that upper section. Even if you don't have a photo, maybe you could send us a more detailed description of the issue so we can address it correctly. Thanks! EZ-CRETE

    The EZ Tubes worked great for my sunroom addition. It was 15 degrees outside and too cold to pour concrete piers, so I tried these. They worked great! I dug a hole about 25" in diameter down to firm soil and below the frost line, put in 4-5" of stone with fines, compacted it, and dropped in the EZ Tube base and rod. I ran a couple of beads of 100% silicon around the base and started stacking the cylinders, caulking each joint with silicon. Once the top of the pier of a few inches above grade I put on a post base, tightened the nut, and cut off the excess rod. I then aligned and squared the piers and the carpenters were able to begin framing as soon as I was done. A great system!.

    The concept is good and I like that each piece is light enough so that it can be lifted albeit 100 lbs isn't exactly light. But, certainly more manageable than a one piece precast pier.My complaints are that the casting isn't great and some pieces fit tight to each other while others don't. I will try to attach a photo. Also, you really don't know the exact height of the pier until you have finished assembling it and at that point it's a little late to add or subtract an inch. Even the instructions say the assembled height is ABOUT 50" which is a little bit loose. And, there is suppose to be caulking between each unit so if that isn't uniform, that affects the height too.Lastly, one of the pieces broke as I was picking it up. I can still use it but the concrete should be tougher than that. And for sure, all the rest were okay and only one broke--out of 28.

    Hi Carl, thanks for using EZ-TUBE precast concrete footings and thank you for your honest feedback. We sincerely appreciate it. If you could send us photos, we would really appreciate it. Just go to https://www.ez-crete.com/contact/ and you'll find our contact details. In regards to the height, we understand that it's not exact, but normally the final height is achieved by putting a post on top of EZ-TUBE (connected via a post-base) which in turn connects to a rim-joist or other beam. And as far as the broken section goes, we're always happy to replace any pieces that may have been damaged or broken during shipping. Again, thanks for your honest feedback. I will make sure that it is relayed to our technical and production team to incorporate into future updates to our manufacturing process. EZ-CRETE

    Hi Michael, we're sorry to hear about your negative experience with our product. Could you elaborate on what you thought was low about the quality of the product? We inspect ever section that leaves our manufacturing facility, so perhaps it was damaged in shipping? We would love to understand exactly what the issue was so we can correct any defects in the product or in our shipping and handling process. Thanks, we really appreciate honest feedback. EZ-CRETE

    This is a great product. Being able to roll everything to the hole makes moving easy. The fit between pieces feels solid but still allows some play to fine tune the leveling. The only caveat I might add is that the delivery truck was without a liftgate. I happen to have a forklft, but be prepared to unload it out of semi trailer a piece at a time otherwise.

    My goodness this is good. I was able to put a pier in under the corner of a jacked up barn. It took a little thinking but all went well.1. No mixing of concrete.2. No worry about freezing.3. Didn’t have to wait for backfill inspection. Inspector did his thing with it already in place.

    Great value w/ free shipping
    WoW! These are great. Easy to move with instant time and cost savings to any project. The free shipping really makes it convienent for timeline and phase planning. Hardware is included and neccecary. It Could be better If it had a simple heavy guage wire/ reabar structure, however its perfect for many projects as-is. Id rather have wire/rebar instead of the included harware......allthread rod,bearing plates, nuts and washers included.. I highly reccomend this product and the Ez-tube brand.

      The company is by far the nicest people that I have ever talked to over the phone about a product, they answered all of my questions to help me with my project. I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone that is looking to build a small addition, deck, shed, or any other small project.

      Who likes mixing cement?? Free freight shipping to boot... took about 10 days. Easy install, but a bit tough to get plumb and level.
