Does anyone have any experience using these products for deck beam support? Have a small ground level deck (14×32) that I would like to use these for.

    i used them for a small outbuilding -- clay soil and not very rocky; climate zone 4. i started the holes and they moved about 1.5" laterally by the time i go to finish depth.
