AZA 1020 ROUND POST HOLE FORM

Description

The Round Post Hole Form is a high-performance cylindrical mold designed for shaping concrete footings for posts, poles, fences, and light structures. Available at Azalab, this product helps professionals and DIY users pour concrete quickly and accurately for round foundations. Whether you’re constructing a fence, deck, signpost, or foundation pole, this form guarantees consistency, strength, and minimal waste.

Why Use a Round Post Hole Form?

When installing posts into the ground, achieving a consistent, stable, and aesthetically pleasing footing is essential. Traditional methods like digging freehand or using wooden boxes can be time-consuming and result in uneven shapes or poor finishes. The round post hole form eliminates these issues by providing a pre-shaped cylindrical mold.

Advantages:

• Accurate shape and dimensions

• Fast installation and setup

• Reduced material wastage

• Clean, smooth finish

• Reusable design lowers long-term cost

Design & Material

Round post hole forms are made using high-density polyethylene (HDPE), fiber-reinforced cardboard, or polypropylene plastic depending on model and budget. At Azalab, our premium models are crafted to be:

• Water-resistant and unaffected by rain or humidity

• UV-stable for long-term outdoor use

• Lightweight yet durable, making them easy to transport and reuse

• Smooth on the inside, resulting in professional-grade finishes

The cylindrical wall ensures equal pressure distribution during the concrete pour, which is critical for strength and alignment.

Application Areas

This product is highly versatile and suitable for:

• Fencing: Wood, iron, or PVC posts

• Lighting poles: Streetlights or garden lights

• Sign boards: Permanent and semi-permanent installations

• Deck footings: Backyard or commercial spaces

• Flag poles & mailboxes

• Temporary event structures

Available in various diameters (150mm, 200mm, 300mm) and heights (up to 1200mm), you can choose the right size depending on your footing depth and load-bearing needs.

Installation Steps

1. Dig the hole to required depth using an auger or spade

2. Place the round post hole form into the cavity

3. Ensure the form is level and centered

4. Insert your post or rebar structure

5. Pour concrete into the form, vibrate gently to eliminate air bubbles

6. Let it cure for recommended time

7. Cut or peel off form if single-use, or remove carefully for reuse

For better strength and anchoring, it’s advised to embed the base of the pole or post into the form before pouring.
