• Fence posts
• Mailboxes or lamps
• Footings
• Use below grade and up to 3’ above grade
Composition and materials: QUIKRETE
®
QUIK-Tubes are engineered from multiple layers
of high-quality fiber laminated with an adhesive,
with a special coating which resists moisture and
facilitates even curing.
Size: Available in 6” (152 mm), 8” (203 mm), 10”
(254 mm) and 12”(305 mm) diameters in 4’ (1.2
M), lengths. The amount of concrete required
for each size tube is illustrated in Table 1.

Installation: Cut QUIK-Tube to required length
(or purchase pre-cut lengths). Dig a hole twice
the diameter of the QUIK-Tube to be used.
Place the tube in the hole, and refill the outside
to secure the tube’s position. Provide additional
support (wooden collar or frame and side
braces) if tube extends two feet or more above
the ground line. Fill the tube to the desired level
with concrete. Rod the concrete to eliminate air
pockets (Note: DO NOT use a mechanical
vibrator when placing concrete.) Place beams
or post anchors in wet concrete. Tube must
remain stationary until concrete sets to avoid
uneven placement. For footings, pre-cut QUIK-
tube and prepare the hole in the same fashion.
Place approximately 2” (50 mm) of gravel in the
bottom of the hole. Drive one vertical rebar into
the ground in the center of the hole, then pour a
4-6” (100-152 mm) footing. Place the QUIK-
tube on the footing and backfill or brace it
vertically to hold in place. Fill the tube with
concrete to the desired level, consolidating the
concrete to remove air pockets. Place beam or
post anchors in the wet concrete.
Precautions:
• QUIK-tubes should be protected from moisture
prior to placement. Cover QUIK-tubes prior to
use and store at least 4” above ground level,
allowing air to circulate through the tubes.
