As a rule, it's a good idea to overfill the tube by about 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm). When smoothed, this will create a rounded upper surface that's more attractive and encourages drainage.

[6] X Research source Pouring the concrete is easy with Monotub D.D. because of its strength it is possible to pour the column in one move. However, you will get the best result when the concrete is condensed after every 50 cm. With longer columns it is advisable to prevent the concrete from falling too deep, as this may cause damage to the inside of the formwork. Removing the Column Form Dig a hole for the support. Use a post hole digger to scoop out the soil where you plan to place the footing. The hole should be slightly wider than the diameter of the form tube. Having an additional 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of space on either side will allow you to fit the tube in without difficulty. [2] X Research source Some building codes may also specify that the support footings for a certain type of structure be a certain diameter, which may determine the size of the form tubes you use.

If so I'm sure a local carpet shop would be happy to get rid of one.
