Wondering if Simpson Strong Tie bases can be used for an angled swing base post. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson...-Base-for-4x4-Nominal-Lumber-ABU44Z/100375358 or if there's another method of attaching it to the footings?

I don't think it would do it.

Not sure what an angle swing gate is. would this be the only attachment for the post? How heavy and long is the gate.

 

[BimmerRacer]

I believe the angle between the posts is 45* so 22.5* for each. Posts are 4x4x8

I think the high fastener holes on that one might miss the angled post. How bout using the ABW line, they are shorter, have the lip the post will push out on, and the inner lip can be bent up to match the inside angle. Need to chamfer the outer side of the post (probably for any anchor).

Also the HBC line, shorter and for bolt, no standoff but has water grooves

You lost me, do you mean they are at an angle to the yard or house or something. The angle between 2 points is always 180*
Will the top of the post be attached to something.

You are building a swing, right ? Not a gate ?

Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear before

How did you figure that out, I couldn't figure it out, after it was cleared up. :biggrin2:

Are you doing new concrete or do you have concrete to drill into?

New footers

Use arrow head drive anchors no cement required.

 

[Nealtw]

I would use this one


and put them in and then bend the tops to 22 *

The intent is not to have it teathered. The intent is to have it leveled on an unleveled ground as well as keeping it off the ground as a bonus

I hadn't thought of bending them, would that weaken them?

They often look like this when some one puts them in the wrong place.

 

[huesmann]

Don't need to bend them, just orient the leg of the A-frame so that the angle goes the other direction. Base of the leg would be slightly offset so you can get the bolt hole centered in the leg.

Anybody see post#4? 1 1/4" @4-sides mounting fins, standoff, bend it.

There are some stresses on a swing that would discourage me from lifting up that 1"

The brackets got delivered today and it appears they legs are not straight up and down, they have about 11* angle

Now you get to practice that math or just build it first and measure it.
