Hi, has anyone used conrods - embedded in concrete - as footings to support a structure? - It's something I want to try - -I've drawn a very rough sketch (attached) I'm concerned about the strength of the rod - what kind of weight might it be able to handle...etc. The sketch shows a rectangular reinforcing metal attached through the big-end to anchor more in the concrete.
Any comments, advice, warnings ...welcome
Something I saw recently and liked. On the bottom of post is a slot cut with chainsaw on center, maybe 4" deep. Insert a 3\16 plate or 1\4", 4" by width of post. This allows to get 2 bolts to the post plate connection. You can weld to the plate, whatever configuration below as required in footer. Hope this makes sense
catch it before it slithers away! Oh wait, it's a tiny ad:
