6x6 Post Bracket on Concrete - Need Recommendation

[ddurrett896]

I've got a footer poured, getting ready to pour 10"x10"x10" boxes on the footer that will support 6x6 posts for a roof. Looking for 6x6 brackets that has at least 12" rebar or threaded rod attached.

Plan to drill through the box then info the footer, and epoxy the bracket into the footer.

This could work - but it won't reach the footer.

This could work - but that's 4 holes I've got to drill

Those are for setting in wet cement. Dunno how well it would work for what you are trying to do

Simpson strong ties makes all kinds, you could use something like this and put in your own 14+" anchors

What's the purpose of the 10" box? Does this get you up to grade?

And why does your bracket need to be anchored in the footer?

The post transfers the compression load to the bracket, the bracket to the 10" block and then the block to the footer.

Gets the post bracket above my pool deck.

I guess it’s doesn’t have to be in the footer and the footer + box is tied together with rebar. Just makes me feel better I guess.

A post supporting a roof can also have tension loads in a windstorm. You need a calc for the uplift force and then need to make sure connections along the load path are sufficient and that the weight of the footer is also sufficient.

If I understand this right, you want to sink the anchor in wet concrete? If so, Simpson has the CB66.

https://www.strongtie.com/nonstandoffcolumnbases_columnbases/cb_base/p/cb

It can be had in G90 galvanization (standard) or hot dipped, or even stainless. There's also the black powder coat ornamental version.

The uplift on the CB66 is 6110 lbs.

 

[bluwolf]

Wow, I just looked at the link for the one you posted on Amazon. That's really expensive. I thought our Simpson stuff was expensive...

Fabricate your own brackets.

Fabricate your own brackets.

That's what I did.

No, I will drill into the concrete then set the bracket with epoxy.

 

[bluwolf]

Then you could go with an ABU66Z. https://www.strongtie.com/retrofitpostbases_postbases/abu_base/p/abu

The load tables are on the page in the link. But the uplift can be as high as 2475 lbs. You can use a wedge anchor or large diameter tapcon and not deal with the epoxy.

I am not skilled in making calculations, but "If in Doubt; Build it Stout" is a philosophy that has kept me out of trouble for most of my adult life. The fabricated brackets cast into the concrete piers should serve your needs exceedingly well.

It'll work. You're doing an odd thing, but it'll work. Should have cast them in when you set the footings.

Go a bigger diameter on the drill, to accommodate any alignment issue with the rebar extensions on the brackets. It will increase the amount of epoxy you'll need but the install will be easier.

Nice BBQ station there. I like the cantilever design. I want to do a cantilever roof BBQ station.

Thx, only had about a year to enjoy it, before covid wrecked everything and triggered a move out of State and early semi-retirement.
But I'm just starting an even bigger grill counter right now, same two grills PLUS a pizza oven dome.

IF you use rabbets / lap joints for your cantilever make them as tight fitting as you can to prevent any droop. Otherwise you'll have to make your crossbeams again or jam some shims in the joint.

Simpson Titen HD an option for securing? For the bracket get the drill in Perma-Column.
