That is interesting about the inground bracket.
I notice that the the footing is only a miniumum of 8" thick.
Off the top of my head I don't know the lenght of the J bolts, but they might be too long.
But there are other types of brackets. Some with built in sheet metal wings.
And other where you have to drill into the footing and use expanding anchors or structural epoxy anchors.
If the hole did not drain that is the case where I would want to use a concrete pilar so that the post is completely out of the ground.
I really don't know enough about different soils to give you a recommendation.
I just know that mine is heavy clay and/or a silty clay and it holds lots of water, but the location where I did this is high and does not hold water. So I just crushed rock.
