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

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.
