    Default Steel stumps versus Concrete stumps

    Hello there,

    we are about to have our house restumped.
    The builder recommended steel under the house and concrete on the perimeter.
    I do like the look of all steel stumps.
    Does anyone know what would be preferable?
    What are the advantages for steel OR concrete?

    Thank you for your help!!!

    Galvanised steel stumps will last a long time (do a hunt for Duragal) and are lighter and easier to handle than concrete stumps. However they must be supported with concrete footings.

    Concrete stumps would be used like timber stumps. Dig the hole, shot the steel stumps in and backfill.
    Ours is not to reason why.....only to point and giggle.
