I been picturing this for a year! Thanks now I can show people and thanks for being creative w concrete n tires❣️

You can get crushed rock that contains all the dust, that way you do not need the sand, wet it as you compact and it will "set" like clay

You basically created concrete with the sand/gravel mix. Between that, the steel, and the anti corrosive paint, I’m struggling to see any real advantages to using concrete. Nice work overall. 👏 the effort. Good job. Looks solid.

absolutely brilliant !

Really nice explanation ! Thank you. You deliver something not easily visible online.

This channel is a gem. Keep it up

Great Video! thank you for sharing! we, as a younger generation have the responsibility to find new, more environment-friendly and affordable solutions :) keep going guys! what you are doing is inspiring!

nice job!!

This is excellent. Given the 360 Degree costs of concrete, this is genius!

Great work

I used this idea to level my 40 foot container Thank you from Trinidad

We made these foundations with compressed earth and just filled the area for the columns with concrete. We placed our columns to hold the roof. No problems at all after 6 years!

Thanks for showing a way to use old tires, tires and concrete has its purposes, I see big problems with burying steel. Note Mike Reynolds builds with tires and concrete!

I intend to do this, but ... i'm concerned about hurricane uplift, and this solution relies solely on gravity and friction; so my thinking is to get rid of your footing steel parts and drive stainless 1 meter bolts glued in to bedrock at odd angles through the column timbers... "toe nailing to the bedrock through your tyre system approach" but without a welder or any significant steel... using epoxy to anchor to the bedrock after drilling through the tyre... the tyre itself has steel belts, it already *is* as strong as anything you're going to fix to it... best use the tyres alone as the brackets... that's how i've done it and will keep doing it... tyres are cheap; welded steel is expensive; stainless steel 20mm threaded rod is ubiquitous (3/4in)... to the video makers: "uplift" in a 120mph storm when the wind gust sucks that flat roof up in the air and reverses the static loads, how much can we rely on this system to keep the building from lifting out its footings besides being "heavy".

sorry ive been reserching and i think the Holy Trinity Church london only used them as a retaining wall not as a foundation but wish we could use this method in the uk for our self biuld

Thinking of using this on a design project but am wondering: What sort of impact is there on the surrounding soil? Do any heavy metals escape into the soil, and if so what kind of protection is needed to prevent this?

I have been wondering if an earth battery would work with compressed dirt inside tyres running alongside air rated tubing coming from a solar air heater, layered with gravel and tyres inside an insulated hole.

Nice video. How much provol + sand did you use to fill completely the tire?

Hi, great video guys and very interesting. We are building a shipping container home, using two 40' shipping containers in an L shape. We would like the containers to sit 60cm above ground level. Could we use tyre foundations to achieve this? Thanks for all your help, Victoria and John ✌️

Stay critical I like that..........Ok your idea....my thoughts........metal plate bad idea will rust hook rebar to the steel in the tyres they will not pull out

The tedious manual labor involved with filling & compacting dirt/sand/gravel into tires is excruciating to watch. It's good exercise I suppose....

2cm metal plate ?! My God, this is not a cheaper option

I am going to use the tyre and pour concrete into it 🤣

Hmmm. All that sand and aggregate being beaten around inside tyres, when just a smaller hole, perhaps reinforcing mesh, and cement added to the aggregate - to make concrete foundations. Quick and simple.

Rubber withers away in several years...
