Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Cabin/shop post foundation issue

I wouldn't 'attach' anything to a rock that might potentially shift as the frost wills. A single, simple hole and rod (rebar) to locate and hold a block or other supporting post is all I'd do in your circumstances.

When we put up our cabin on the windy west coast of the state a dozen years ago...it's all permafrost here.... I intentionally tried to locate it on the biggest rocks I could find and just built on pads sitting on those rocks.



So far it has worked perfectly with no corrections needed after the first year or two.
