1. Concrete footing pads: They are made of hard, durable concrete material for stability and strength.
2. Wood footing pads: They are usually made of treated lumber or hardwood and are used to stabilize wooden posts and beams.
3. Composite footing pads: They are made of a combination of plastic and wood fibers and are resistant to moisture, insects and rot.
4. Helical piers: These are a type of footing pad that is often used for heavy-duty applications where concrete may not be possible, such as in soft or marshy soil conditions.
5. Screw-in footing pads: They are used for lightweight structures such as decks and sheds. They screw into the ground with a metal spike and can be easily removed or relocated.
6. Gravel footing pads: They are used in situations where a solid footing pad is not necessary, such as for garden sheds or other small structures. They consist of a layer of compacted gravel and are less expensive than other options.
