Second the Perma Column solution. You do not have to buy the bracket and concrete post assembly (heavy, a fortune to ship). The bracket is available separately and you can make a mold to cast the post onsite OR cut off the existing posts, install the bracket, add a round cardboard form fill with concrete. If you brace the roof you can cut the post, use a small excavator to pull the old post, dig the hole, fill around new post or round form. No BS hand digging.
Plus the finished job will look like a pro job instead of midnight engineering.
Bagged concrete is available as "Dot 3" it is high strength quick set for the molded posts and is used by your local hwy dept for overnight road repair. Some brackets use Simpson Strong Tie fasteners to increase the loading capacity of the wood to concrete joint in the bracket.
Simpson has brackets also. They will require a round tube form and use of the same fasteners. Download a copy of the Simpson catalog/application guide.
No interest in Perma Column or Simpson. I had planned to build a wood frame shop using the Perma Column brackets and casting the posts onsite. Decided that it was just a easy to rent an excavator cut 12" X 2 ft trench fill with concrete and stab the brackets in. Cheaper too! Don't know cost of Dot 3, but I'd venture anything the govt buys will be Cadillac price.
