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 and a back bracket forming a U-shaped bracket. A pair of front brackets is removably attached to the side brackets. An anchor and a portion of the side brackets extend below the base bracket forming an anchor tab and a side bracket tab. A pair of anchor rods is operatively connected to each side bracket tab. The anchor can be embedded in a concrete pier and then a post can be secured within the concrete post anchor with the front brackets and fastened to the anchor. The concrete post anchor withstands increased loads and forces associated with post built-type buildings without permitting the wood post to directly contact the soil, thereby creating substantially stronger and longer-lasting post buildings.
