Using a concrete base to attach the pole to will work. You just need to be have sufficient lateral bracing for the length and breadth of the building. [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Try http://www.socketsystems.com for commercial anchoring devices. You could also "roll your own". I've considered these, but not for a builging with a large free span and no cross walls to help brace the side walls. I'm sure anyone selling these components can give advice on proper use. Or you could have a pro spec it out. Also, I don't know if you'd save any money over burying the poles. I don't think the anchors and bolts would be cheap.
thanks guys for your info, yes i have been on socket systems and sounds great, i also found a site called www.powrfab.com but they are about 60.00 to 70.00 dollars each.i have the basic way i want it but just going back and forth with it on the lumber pt 17 post for 1,380.00 + tax or 17 hemlock post for 433.49 with tax i know that the pt is better and last but here there are a lot of old pole barns with ceder or hemlock and are still up after all these years. i was just thinking about the brackets people have told me this is what you should do it then your post would be on top of the ground not in it . i am probity going to go with the 4' in the ground one bag of 45lbs of cement and back fill it . but i like to get all the info i can i have a small budget of 5,000.00 and next year do more on it. i am trying to save money but not make a death trap also . thanks again for your help and ideas guys .
