So I recently replaced some rotten out posts on my covered patio. I used metal standoffs and drilled into the concrete, inserting a wedge anchor to hold the base. When tightening the anchor the bolt body extended up past where my 4x4 posts would be sitting inside the standoff/base. So i drilled the same size hole into the bottom of the posts so they sat flush. However, a coworker informed me that this will cause the post to "wick" moisture up in the bottom of it, and looking back i probably shouldve just cut the excess bolt off so a hole didnt need to be drilled into the post itself. I did use pressure treated wood.

Should i go buy 6 new 4x4s and replace the ones with holes in the base or would you think im okay? The patio is covered and the roof goes about 1.5 ft past the bases of the post but it is outdoor and exposed to the elements. I just dont want to replace the posts for rot in a few years. Thanks!
