Guys – Thanks for all of the feedback from my other post on puting concrete piers. The BI should be by on Friday to inspect my footing holes.
So now on to the pour….
I was going to order bag mix from Lowes or HD. Is the regular Quikrete/Sakrete with a 4000 psi strong enough? Or, should I order the 5000 psi?
The footings will be 24″ wide by 12″ tall and the piers will be about 12″ round by 24″ tall. I’ll reinforce with #4 rebar so I can pour the footings first followed by the piers.

Greetings Mike,

Perhaps it will catch someone's attention that can help you with advice.

Arent you just building a deck? I just built a porch with posts to support a roof. We just used the standard Quickrete.
You should be fine unless the BI has something else to say.
BTW, no matter what you hear here, the BI is the only opinion that will really matter.
