Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Place concrete block footings into the prepared holes. The video shows specially designed concrete blocks with a central square opening to securely hold a 4x4 post. To aid in drainage and prevent moisture buildup, the creator demonstrates cutting a small notch into the concrete block's central opening, allowing any water that enters to drain out.

Goal: Provide stable bases for the support posts

Tools and materials

  • Angle Grinder — Cutting drainage notches into the concrete blocks
  • Concrete Block Footings — Supporting the vertical posts of the deck
