Porch Post in Concrete


I have never imagined a fence post directly buried in concrete t o be an issue, but it seems like a bad idea for a post holding up a back porch. Am I wrong?

No, you’re not wrong. You don’t know what is under the post e.g. ground, stones, etc.

Best practices, IMO, is a metal stand-off that keeps the bottom of the post up offf the concrete.
