Has anyone ever used advantech for foundation forms? I’m thinking of forming my own 4′ frost walls for a shop.Then if possible re-use them for the loft flooring.
thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas.

double or even triple up on the bracing and shoring...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
what exactly is a "frost wall" I've heard the term before, but not where I live. it must be a reginal term.
it's the foundation wall that gets you down below frost level.

so basically pretty much any basement, and most crawspaces. would be deemed to have a "frost wall". unless you live in the desert I guess.
In a way, but I reer to a full baement as having a basement wall. A frost wall here only needs to go 4' below surface, so that term is used for crawlspaces and those structures with a wall only and no interior excavation to create crawl space.
