Tough-Liner

Tough-Liner is my made-up name for plastic sheeting that is tough enough to withstand abrasive concrete and tough enough to stop termites chewing through it.  I use lots of it in my foundation design so it needs to be fairly inexpensive.

I used to use Fab-Form (now called FastFoot) for this function but the availability and price of it has become prohibitive.

While FeltBuster™ High-Traction Synthetic Roofing Felt is water resistant, it is NOT WATERPROOF. DO NOT USE FeltBuster™ High-Traction Synthetic Roofing Felt as a temporary roof to protect property or possessions. "

Fastfoot® footing forming system consists of 120’ rolls of high density polyethylene scrim coated with low density polyethylene.  The scrim provides the tensile strength to withstand the concrete forces, while the low density coating acts as the capillary break, preventing the ground moisture from entering the footing concrete.

Used to be able to get a 62" x 120' roll for about $95.
