Fastfoot® is a fabric footing form that prevents rising damp. Stakes are driven into the ground, 2x4 screed boards attached at the correct height, and Fastfoot® is stapled to each 2x4 to form and protect the concrete from ground moisture.

I - fastfoot® used as a complete footing form

Fastfoot® can be used as a complete footing form, forming the sides and base of the footing as shown below:

II - fastfoot® used as an edge form

Fastfoot® can be used as an edge form, forming the sides only. Fastfoot® edging is used where the footing (or slab) is too wide to be formed with a single width of fabric.
