About the footing,

This is a strip footing about 12 - 14 inches wide, and about 10 inches deep. The bottom of the footing is about 13 inches below grade. That is deep enough to keep the structure below the frost line in our area. Two runs of #4 rebar (half inch stuff) about 3 or 4 inches from the top of the concrete. Vertical rebar where ever I felt like putting them.... At the corners, and no more than 32" in- between vertical's.

I decided not to build forms for the concrete, and just dig a hole... And then the 2 x 4 boards in the pictures are temporary supports to hold the rebar in place while the concrete is put in place and cures.

There are 24 lineal feet of footing, and I mixed 59 each, pf the 60 pound bags of Quikrete premix cement to fill in the hole.... Might be a little bit of over kill... and this quantity of cement was certainly over my planned quantity... by 20%.

I won't install a slab for the wood but will leave the area under the WFO as a gravel surface.

Thanks for the comments, hope this isn't to much information!
