Made from partially recycled HDPE plastic, and available in 8”, 10”, 12”, 18”, 24”, and 30” diameters, the new CEME-TUBE™ will change the way footings and piers are made. This revolutionary new product will eliminate a multitude of problems found with using cardboard forming tubes.
The CEME-TUBE® will not only take job site and shipping abuse, but it can be installed, completely backfilled, and filled with concrete at any future date. All CEME-TUBE®s are 4 foot in length, but with the integral collar on one end, can be stacked to produce piers up to 20’ tall in one pour. (12’ tall for 30” model) The finished pier will be round, smooth, equal in diameter, and of architectural-grade for the entire length.
An optional domed cap is available in all sizes to keep rain, dirt, children etc. out of the hole prior to pouring concrete.

A great example of why our HPDE Plastic Ceme-Tube is superior to old-fashioned cardboard forming tubes!
These Ceme Tubes are installed, back filled, and ready to fill with concrete. There is 2′ of standing water inside these Ceme-Tubes, which would make this job impossible with cardboard forming tubes, but not for Ceme-Tubes!
