Grilling hut - Can 6” pad support this?

Post Body

I’m planning to build a slightly smaller version of something like this. The roof and posts would be almost exactly like this photo.

My question is, can I do these posts on a 6” slab? The weight wouldn’t be like that of a deck. I’m in the Midwest and we do get snow but I don’t think the weight would be so extreme.

I had thought about piers underneath the slab but seemed like it might be overkill?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The mesh sucks. I've demo'd so much concrete where the mesh is sitting on the bottom for 75% of it.

Mesh is what you use if you don't give a shit but aren't quite ready to own up to it yet.

Rebar grid on 2-3" chairs. Do not assume it will get pulled up. It won't.
