Thinking about replacing an old porch this summer. Central Wisconsin.

What is recommended depth for footings of corner posts?

Below the frost line and to solid ground.

Might be 50 feet in a swamp- but in relatively stable ground, just get
below frost.

If you're pouring concrete, don't forget to make the base large enough.

Soil is sandy loam.
