I've use the new post supports from Home depot, twice now... work great.
They are long spikes you bang int teh ground and then bolt the post to the spike, I've made 2 decks, one 25 x 13 , 3 feet off the ground, another 27 x 12 , 1 foot off teh ground, they worked awsome. even had an inspection done on the higher one, he said it'll out last the house....LOL
I like them cause you can pound in all your posts easy and start building asap. Also if you need to replace a post, it'll just unbolt for ya.
