Abstract
A footing assembly for a vertical post in post-frame construction is provided that supports three-axis loading and facilitates proper locating of the vertical post within a drilled hole. The footing assembly comprises post rail assembly that is slidably disposed within an elongated bridge plate member. A vertical post is furthermore slidably received within the post rail assembly along the vertical post lower end. The slidable connections of the post rail assembly and the vertical post facilitate two-axis position of the vertical post within an excavated hole once placed therein, while the telescoping construction of the vertical post facilitates a vertical positioning of a post bracket secured to the upper portion of the vertical post. The present invention allows for proper locating of a vertical post within a footing hole, while also providing a footing assembly that supports three-axis loading once installed.
