Dry Drill Set Brackets by Sturdi-Wall are designed for post-frame buildings where posts are anchored to existing or newly poured concrete. These brackets offer a reliable, engineered solution that improves structural strength, simplifies installation and helps protect posts from ground contact, making them ideal for a wide range of building applications.
Why Dry Drill Set Brackets Sturdi-Wall
Built to perform — here's what sets it apart.
Keeps posts out of the ground
Elevates the wood column above grade on a steel bracket — eliminating the ground-contact moisture that rots buried posts, the leading cause of post-frame foundation failure.
ICC-ES® certified
The only ICC-ES-certified post-frame anchor brackets — compliant with the 2015 & 2018 IBC® and IRC® (ESR-4239), including High-Velocity Hurricane Zone approval for smoother permitting.
Built to resist corrosion
American-made ¼″ steel with a super-durable polyester powder coat tested beyond 2,000 salt-spray hours; hot-dip galvanized is available for highly corrosive or coastal sites.
Strong, fast drill-set install
Bolts to already-poured, cured concrete with wedge anchors — no wet-set timing to manage, and it avoids costly concrete-placement errors.

Frequently asked questions
It bolts to concrete that’s already poured and cured, using a hammer drill and wedge anchors — so you don’t have to set brackets while the concrete is still wet. That removes wet-set placement errors. Setting in fresh concrete instead? Ask us about the wet-set Sturdi-Wall® Plus.
It holds the wood column on a steel bracket above grade, out of direct soil contact. Ground moisture is what rots buried posts, so keeping the wood up and dry is what gives the foundation its long life.
Solid 4x6, 6x6 and 8x8 posts, plus 3-, 4- and 5-ply 6″ and 8″ nail-laminated or glulam columns, and 6″ and 8″ universal brackets. Standard, OT and GL versions match nailed, mechanically-fastened, or planed-and-glued columns — we’ll match the right one to your build.

We have a huge build going on for a year and we set up an account for our builder to use at PAC. PAC has been very fair with their prices and competitive with with the large box stores. It is nice that for every purchase we get a statement emailed to us. We appreciate all that you have provided to make our build a success. We will continue to call upon you in the future for all our building needs.

I am enjoying that we don't have to run to Dickson to Lowe's! Pac has provided all our needs so far without having to leave Waverly as it should be! There prices on lumber are very compatible with Lowe's, in fact they beat them on some lumber and it's a better quality! They also deliver!!

Recently dealt with Carson here to buy a building, my experience was great. Carson was able to setup everything online and answered every question we had (my wife and I had plenty of questions being our first building purchase) thank you for being so helpful and I hope to do more business with you guys in the future.

I can’t say enough good things about them.
I wanted a hobby shop on a piece of property I bought. I called PAC and the rest was easy. They had great advice and very fair pricing. I live out of state and put my complete trust in the crew. They not only met my expectations but surpassed them. I can’t say enough good things about them. Would highly recommend them.

PAC Lumber is fantastic. Always helpful to me - a complete novice when it comes to building projects. Several times they have stayed open a few extra minutes for me - and always with a smile on their face. Highly recommend PAC.
