Dry-Set Post Brackets — Blackwater Truss Systems
Dry-Set Post Brackets from Blackwater Truss Systems provide a strong, reliable, and easy-to-install foundation connection for steel or wood posts — without the need for pouring wet concrete around the post itself. Designed to set directly into dry concrete, these brackets create a solid structural anchor for your building’s posts while keeping the post base elevated and protected.
Built for Strength and Simplicity
Dry-Set Post Brackets are engineered to embed directly into dry concrete footings, providing exceptional lateral and uplift resistance. Once set, posts can be securely attached to the bracket above grade, which helps prevent rot, corrosion, or moisture damage that often occurs with buried post installations.
This installation method offers precise alignment, clean post connections, and a long-lasting foundation solution for both steel and wood post-frame structures.
Standard Design Features
- Material: Heavy-duty steel construction for maximum strength and durability.
- Finish: Supplied with a durable primer coating for corrosion resistance and easy finishing.
- Installation: Designed to be set in dry concrete prior to post installation, creating a secure anchor point.
- Compatibility: Works with both steel and wood posts, and is standard-sized to fit a 6x6 nominal post.
- Custom Sizes: Available for other post sizes — call for pricing on non-standard options.
- Elevated Design: Keeps post bases above ground level to reduce moisture exposure and extend post life.
- Pre-Drilled Holes: For quick and secure fastening of posts once the bracket is set.
Applications
Dry-Set Post Brackets are ideal for use in:
- Pole barns and steel truss buildings
- Garages, workshops, and storage buildings
- Agricultural structures
- Lean-tos, porches, and awnings
- Any post-frame structure requiring a clean, strong foundation connection
Why Choose Dry-Set Post Brackets
