Abstract:
A structural support is adapted to elevate the base of a structural member, such as, a wooden post, above a concrete surface where is would be subject to water related wood damage. A supporting shaft is connected at its upper end, to a generally U-shaped bracket member and is imbedded in concrete proximate its lower end. The lower end of the shaft is deformed or embossed to increase the resisting power in the vertical direction to the concrete. Indicia is provided along the supporting shaft to indicate maximum clearance elevation for the embedded shaft.
