No code requirements where I live. No permits needed for construction, plumbing, etc. here, believe it or not.
I was thinking he did post frame, not post and beam. I'm going to build a post frame building, and don't want to sink posts in the ground. Sturdi-wall brackets look thoroughly decent. Poly protectors look dodgy to me. Don't really want to go with lumber link, timber linx (timber link is more a modern spin on timber framing, really). It would be very unwise to use strongtie's post bases for this purpose. Wanting this thing to last a heck of a lot longer than 40 years, and seen too many treated posts dug up that rotted under the 40 year mark.
I'm curious what the cost of these Sturdi-wall brackets is. I looked at the strong tie brackets at Lowes and they may be really strong but they look cheezy for what they want for them; over $27.00 a pop. I didn't see the Sturdi wall bkts when I was looking. After looking at the ones at Lowes and the cost of them I made my own......similar to the Sturdi wall bkts, only I used 8" anchor bolts in my piers rather than the welded rebar to the bottom of the brackets like the sturdi wall brackets seem to have.
