Hmm I see the bolt trough the therm column bracket. How is that flexing? Anyway if you compare like and kind you would compare to therma columns wet set brackets.
An additional advantage of using the bell auger, it will create a round spread footing just like a traditional footing for the bottom half of the bell. Adding rebar into the bell area as best you can will give the tension support to the concrete.. It would have been nice if CPS provided an example on how to install the rebar for the DIY crowd. Keep in mind, that a full tension grid of rebar will be extremely tough perform. If it was me, beside the rebar I can manage to get in for the tension for the base, I would use fiber reenforced concrete. It is worth the extra cost.
You got me terrified now of any kind of pier. i did calculations of weight per pier and Ottawa Canada Ontario snow load of 48# per sq foot. piers 8' apart. roof being 5.5/12 pitch building 40' wide w/ 2' overhang makes each column snow being 9300 lbs!!!! and weight of truss, steel, perlins etc. only 1264# each column. soil is 3000 psi so column needs to hold safety factor multiply x 1.25 makes like 15,000 lbs. so footing needs to be 32" diameter. INSANE!!!! and yet I only see Kyle or mr post frame pouring maybe 18" round column piers. and why have i never seen rebar put into the concrete piers ever on any videos from mrpostframe or Kyle's RR buildings? not once. so why not just dig a hole 12" below frost then at the bottom auger it wide enough for 3 sq feet, put crushed rock, tamp it down real good, then pour a 3 sq foot footing 21"x21"x12deep or 24" diameter pad 12" deep and wet set 4 pieces of #4 rebar into it coming up 5' (missing the wet set backet's rebar going down 18"). I'd personally even weld a web onto the bracket.
were you able to determine a size for the pier that would work for canada's snow load? I see these perma columns advertised for use here but I have no idea how they would be acceptable bearing in any soil conditions.

Difficult to use this system for an existing pole building repair that has concrete floor around post on 3 sides.
And how much is that auger
