[QUOTE="Central Fl Cracker, post: 551339, member: 1921"] I have been in the construction biz for 35 years and have been on a lot of roofs. Most roofs will have a little sway to them no matter how they are braced. Just make sure the post to beams are tied off real good and maybe add some hurricane clips. Go to simpson.com and you will see the different tie downs that you can use. Some examples of tie downs. [img]http://www.strongtie.com/graphics/highwind/HW_D3.gif[/img] [img]http://www.strongtie.com/graphics/highwind/HW_D63.gif[/img] I would be very concerned with 12" of concrete in regards to depth. In your area of a deep frost line in the soil the concrete is not below your freeze/thaw line. You should be at least 30" into the ground to get below your freeze/thaw into the soil. [/QUOTE]
