A concrete pier is a foundation element suitable for many types of structures but most commonly used for timber frame post and beam buildings. A concrete pier typically consists of a round or square concrete pillar supported at the bottom by a footer piece which serves to spread the load carried by the pier. The pier is placed or cast with the footer below the frost line and its top end above the ground surface.
Install the precast concrete pier footings on the top of the ground. 1  The precast concrete pier footing option uses a socket on the top to accept a 4 x 4 treated wood post. 2  Make sure that the ground beneath each pier footing is level. 3  You don't have to remove grass or grade the entire area surrounding the pool.
