Default Concrete anchoring question - your opinion?

You should not imbed wood posts (pressure treated or not) in concrete.
Before the posts rot, they will expand and crack the concrete. And then
they will rot. Wood posts should be above (not in) concrete.


Your point? I repeat:

The cabana people. . . Then use a proper sized

"post bracket". . .
----------------

to anchort the posts the the concrete using the cast in anchors. The cabana
people should have typical detail drawings and recommendations for this
proceedure.

Here are a couple of references for anchor brackets used to bolt wood posts to
concrete:
