ABSTRACT:
The current invention is a concrete post anchor and method of using comprising two substantially vertical side brackets, side brackets operatively connected opposite one another and spaced apart with a base bracket, forming a U-shaped bracket. A portion of the side bracket extends below the base bracket forming a tab. An anchor rod is operatively connected to the tab extending away from the base bracket in a direction opposite the U-shaped bracket. The anchor can be embedded in a concrete pier and then a post can be fastened to the anchor. This allows for post built-type buildings to be constructed without wood directly contacting the soil, thereby creating substantially stronger and longer-lasting posts buildings.
