    Fun Facts - The larger the surface area of a footing, the larger the load it will carry. Meaning a 2'deepx2'x2' footing will not carry a much larger load than a 1'deepx2'x2'... But a 1' foot deep footing that is 3'x3' will carry a much heavier load. Plus you should have set your bolts in the wet concrete, even better would have been the post brackets then you could do a nice broom finish around the bracket and edged the footing.

      @@oregon1232 No matter what you did to the footing sideways load would be a problem at this point due to the way the post will be connected to the pier pad. An engineered solutions such as a shear wall could be added to deal with these critical areas, Shear walls fight wind Shear up lift and side loads. Of course Shear Straps should have been placed in the pier pads to connect to the post to help with lift problems.

    Matt, I’m a viewer of your channel and also a DIYer who resides here in Salinas PR. Watching your videos I noticed that you often use pre-mixed cement bags which are very expensive. If you visit your local Ferreteria, buy 4 meters of sand and 4 meters of gravel(separated), dump them near your construction site next to each other, buy the Portland Cement “Cemento Ponce or San Juan” add 12 shovels of Sand and 17 of gravel to ONE cement bag, your cement will go far and so will your $$$$.

    You can use concrete epoxy and regular all thread for hurricane anchors. All thread can be cut to lenght and is much cheaper than wedge anchor bolts. If Florida with American high regulations say its safe then you will be fine. Don't forget to put the nut on before each cut on all thread. The nut will chace the threads where you cut it.

    If you want to reduce big on the cost of concrete, order a heap of sand, a heap of gravel and the amount of portland cement you need for each job.
    With a tarp under and over the sand as well as for the gravel, it will be there for a few years.
    Make the concrete in a ratio of 1-2-3 cement-gravel-sand in volume.👴🤓

    Hi Matt. Fun job. Just a tip from and old engineer. To save time and some money you can add “plums” to the footings. Basically they are just large clean rocks that you place in the concrete as you go to make it go further. And yes the word plum is an old engineering term that i learnt off my father. Something fort the future. A rag bolts should be fine, diagonal braces more important. Cheers
