Do they make some kind of concrete piers you can mount the deck posts to?
Yes, the big box stores and other building supply or local lumber stores may have them. The precast piers are designed to sit right at or near ground level in instances where buried posts or poured concrete footings are not required. If unsure, check with your local building dept to find out if and how piers can be used in your area.
Most areas of the country DO require footings or piers to fall below the frostline on permanent or attached structures so poured concrete works the best. The reason precast piers are not used on permanently placed structures in frost areas is because these structures need a more stable foundation [piers / posts sunk below the frost line (42" where I am in southern Michigan) or if that is not an issue then until solid ground]. In the colder climates, precast piers may be useful in "temporary" (building department term with various meanings) and detached structures such as a gazebo, small shed, or playhouse, etc. In the case of a deck, many building departments insist that these are permanent structures and require more stringent rquirements.
An important thing to note: if you live in an area where the ground freezes and are using the precast piers - do NOT attach any part of the deck to a permanent structure such as your house. The reason is that the piers do not provide the same stability as the foundation to a house. i.e. the ground will move as it freezes and thus move the precast piers (and deck) with it. On the other hand, if you reside in an extremely warm climate, the precast piers should suit you fine although mother nature may offer a different set of challenges.
The precast piers are quite versatile and can act as a base for posts and even cradle joists and beams. In all cases, the piers need to be set on solid, firm, and level ground. The challenge is in hiding their unsightly and bulky appearance. You can design the deck to hide the piers as much as possible such as using the precast piers to support beams under a cantilevered deck and then bolt any railing posts to the perimeter deck framing. I guess it all depends on how high off the ground the deck has to be. Good luck and I hope this helps.
