Got lots of friends in the concreting/formwork and Civil engineering industries. From the engineer to my tradie mates, all advised using reo for my foundations of my pier. If you put footings in without at least a little bit of reo then you are looking for trouble down the track, so put some in and sleep easy.
Concrete is very week without reo. Even in the ground.
Reo acts like the bones of the beast. Without it even in the ground you possibly will get cracking at some stage then this could cause all sorts of hassels. It only sets once.
I would of hated myself in saving a half hr by not putting in my mesh reo which was free and took 30 mins to cut and bend before the cement went in and then spent many thousands and countless Saturdays building my observatory around it, to have it crack or shift.
My 2 cents.
Matt.
