Explore Every Application Scenario
Residential Buildings
Residential building sites often face tight access, uneven terrain and unpredictable weather. Our concrete-free steel footings provide a fast and adaptable solution for homes, house extensions and small-scale dwellings. Whether building on reactive soils or fitting into compact blocks, our systems reduce delays and help keep projects on track. This category also supports designs like granny flats, modular homes and tiny houses through our Modular Buildings range.
Outdoor Living
Outdoor structures benefit from footings that are fast to install, gentle on landscaped spaces and capable of handling ground variation. Our steel footing systems offer a clean and efficient foundation option for decks, pergolas, patios and carports. Designed for backyard upgrades and alfresco additions, these footings provide reliable support while reducing mess, labour and site disruption.
Fences
Fence projects often face issues like hard soil, sloped terrain, or access limits. Our adjustable, galvanised steel footings simplify fence installation across boundary, pool, and security applications. Install fast with no wet concrete or deep digging, and achieve long-term stability on any site.
Modular Buildings
Modular buildings demand efficient foundations that can keep up with fast delivery schedules and varied installation sites. Our steel footing systems provide reliable support for prefabricated modules, tiny homes, transportable buildings and offsite-built granny flats. With easy height adjustment and no concrete curing, they simplify the setup process on both urban and remote projects. These solutions are also suitable for residential installations, as cross-referenced in our Residential Buildings category.
Poles & Lighting
Lighting structures require solid foundations that can be installed quickly and positioned accurately. Our steel footing systems provide a dependable alternative to traditional concrete bases for light poles, lamp posts and sports field lighting. With easy bolt-down connections and height adjustability, these foundations reduce setup time and improve alignment even on sloped or uneven surfaces.
Barriers & Walls
Safety barriers and structural walls must withstand impact, lateral pressure and changing ground conditions. Our steel footing systems offer a high-strength, concrete-free solution for retaining walls, traffic control barriers and security-grade fencing. With adjustable height and anchoring options, these foundations reduce install time, improve alignment and perform reliably in both temporary and permanent applications.
Walkways & Access
Walkways, footbridges and access ramps require footings that can deliver safety, accuracy and minimal environmental impact. Our concrete-free steel footing systems offer a secure foundation option for pedestrian paths, coastal boardwalks, and accessibility upgrades. These systems are easy to level, perform well on uneven terrain and help meet compliance standards for schools, parks and public infrastructure.
Parks & Recreation
Public spaces like parks, playgrounds and transport zones need footings that are quick to install, safe around people and built to last. Our steel footing systems support a wide range of park and recreation structures including street furniture, shelters and shade systems. Designed for minimal ground disturbance and long-term durability, these footings provide a practical solution for councils, schools and contractors delivering community infrastructure.
Agriculture & Storage
Agricultural and storage structures demand solid, long-lasting foundations that can be installed quickly without disrupting operations. Our steel footing systems provide a dependable solution for farm sheds, greenhouses and agricultural structures. Designed for performance on uneven or reactive soils, they are easy to transport, fast to install and suited for all types of rural properties and growing environments.
Industrial & Site Facilities
Industrial and temporary worksite infrastructure requires fast, flexible and dependable foundations. Our steel footing systems are designed for rapid deployment of workshops, transportable offices, conveyor lines and mining camps. These footings offer strong support on a wide range of surfaces and can be adjusted on site for quick alignment and minimal disruption, making them ideal for high-turnover or remote industrial projects.
Energy & Utilities
Energy and utility infrastructure must be installed efficiently and operate reliably over time. Our steel footing systems offer strong, adjustable support for solar panel arrays, battery storage, pump stations and more. With no need for concrete, they simplify deployment across remote, urban and environmentally sensitive sites while maintaining structural integrity and corrosion protection.

Foundation Footing Application FAQs
How do I know which foundation footing is right for my project?
The best footing solution depends on your soil conditions, site access, building type, and local council requirements. Our team will assess your project and recommend the most efficient and structurally sound footing system – whether for a residential build, deck, carport, or commercial structure.
Can concrete-free steel footings be used for all types of construction?
Yes. Our adjustable, galvanised steel footings are suitable for nearly all construction types, from residential homes to commercial sheds, decks, and public infrastructure. For extremely heavy or engineered loads, we may recommend integrating with screw piles or consulting our structural engineering team.
What’s the difference between residential and commercial foundation requirements?
Residential footings typically prioritise adaptability for different soil types and sloped sites. Commercial projects often require engineered footings that meet higher load demands and stricter compliance standards. Our foundation systems can be tailored to meet both scenarios efficiently.
