Concrete Forming Tube FAQ’s
Can you leave the forms on the post after the concrete has been poured, or do they need to be removed?
Depending on the purpose of your project, both methods are acceptable. If you are using these concrete form tubes below grade, there will be no need to remove them from the post, as they will degrade over time. However, if your post is above-ground, removing the form is also just as easy.
How many bags of concrete will it take to fill these forms?
While exact numbers can vary, here is a good rule of thumb. You will typically require about TWO 60 lb. bags of concrete mix per every foot of height for a 12” Concrete Forming Tube.
What is the best way to cut these forms?
If you want your tube to come pre-cut per your specifications, just email us at sales@discountcontractorsupply.com with your order number and instructions and we’ll get it done for you! If you’d like to do it yourself, you can try using a miter saw, or mark your tube to ensure the straightness of the cut and use a utility knife.
