Building a Foundation for an Off Grid Shed, Cabin or Home
Vermont – One of the most important principles of building any off grid cabin or home is to pour a rock solid foundation.
The following pictures show how to build pier and beam footers and frame out the beginning foundation of the floor.
One important thing is to make sure that piers due not shift overtime and that moisture freezing and thawing over time does not weaken the individual piers and cause the house and/or foundation to shift.
Several options include cinder blocks, forms and removable forms that can be used over and over to save money when pouring concrete.
In addition, steel screw pilings are another option that can be used to drill supports down into the soil.
