Deck, Sun Room and Pergolas Supports Des Moines, Iowa
Every year Midwest Basement systems exhibits at a variety of Home Shows around Central Iowa. During these shows the participants have arms full of brochures, fliers, information regarding their upcoming home improvement projects. Some of the projects are on the need list, and other projects are on the dream and wish list. In any event, there is an outdoor deck, sun room and patio pergolas that fall on to the project list.
Outdoor decks are great fun for the family, and a fantastic place to entertain friends. Sun Rooms are a beautiful addition to your home and quickly become a place to sit and relax, and the pergolas are great places to sit and chat while waiting for the food to come off of the grill. Before any of these structures can be built the supports must be installed. Traditionally, the supports are a combination of shallow cylindrical hole, a concrete forming tube, 4"x4" or larger support legs, and time added on to the project for digging and allowing the concrete to set up.
Common Draw Back of Traditional Supports
1. Supports are typically installed during the warmer months
2. The bearing depth is at the frost line
3. Longer installation times
4. Supports tend to sit in expanding and shifting soils
