I have to repair a rotted porch post that was originally down in the concrete. It has since rotted the bottom off. I am going to fill the concrete where the post was set in and put a new post in for porch roof support. My problem is to find a cleat to go onto the bottom of the post to prevent rotting. I want something that looks descrete as it will be seen when using the porch.
Get one of the metal brackets that raise the botttom of the post about an inch above the concrete. Then make a skirt of moulding around the base of the post to hide the bracket.
Thank you very much, that is what I was looking for, I have located them and think I will go with those brackets.
