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.

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.

PAC lumber is the place to go for just about anything you need. Had them build my garage and it turned out awesome! Easy to design right in the store. Very professional crew hardly any waste left at the end of the job. Anytime I called I was treated great and all my questions were answered. Thanks to Christopher and all the PAC lumber employees for all the help.

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!!
