Got this porch. I have columns, but need to place a couple of intermediate and end posts. My thought was to drill & set bolts w/ epoxy, use Simpson 6×6 post bases to set the posts, then put up my railings. Do y’all think that will work and be strong enough?

Well, how do you intend to attach your posts? If appearance is not an issue, I usually use some sort of metal bracket attached with an expandable screw anchor (similar to "red-heads").
Will the posts be supported at the top end as well as the base? Or will they be like a newel post and supported at the bottom only?
