Abstract

A reinforced structural assembly may comprise a platform and a base. The platform may have four exterior sides. The platform may be square-shaped block and may be adapted to support at least a portion of a post on top of the platform. The base may be operably coupled to and supporting the platform and the post. The reinforced structural assembly may further include side frames that connect the exterior sides of the platform with the base.

1 . A reinforced structural assembly comprising:
 a platform having four exterior sides, wherein the platform is square-shaped block and is adapted to support at least a portion of a post on top of the platform;   a base having a square-shaped frame ; and   side frames connected the exterior sides of the platform with the base.   
     
     
         2 . The reinforced structural assembly of  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of side frames has two legs, wherein the two legs are adapted to connect to the base.   
     
     
         3 . The reinforced structural assembly of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the base is a square-shaped frame having a bottom; and   the side frames connect exterior sides of the square-shaped block to a bottom of the square shaped frame.   
     
     
         4 . The reinforced structural assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the two legs of each side frame connect square corners of the base. 
     
     
         5 . The reinforced structural assembly of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the platform and the side frames have pre-drilled holes for accepting screws.   
     
     
         6 . The reinforced structural assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the side frames have pre-drilled holes for accepting reinforced bars. 
     
     
         7 . A reinforced structural assembly comprising:
 side frames having two legs; and   a platform having four exterior sides, wherein the platform is square-shaped block and is adapted to support at least a portion of a post on top of the platform, the platform connects to a substantially center part of the side frames.   
     
     
         8 . The reinforced structural assembly of  claim 7 , wherein:
 two legs of the side frames have tabs, wherein the tabs are adapted to connect to pre-drilled holes of a base..   
     
     
         9 . The reinforced structural assembly of  claim 7 , wherein:
 the side frames have pre-drilled holes for accepting reinforced bars.   
     
     
         10 . The reinforced structural assembly of  claim 7 , wherein:
 the side frames have vertical stamped ribs.
