How to place saddles on an angled carport slab

[Specialized29er]

I would like to extend my carport roof out to the end of the concrete slab and from where the current roof ends the slab slopes down a little.
I didn't ask for the concrete to be sloped and asked for at the end of the concrete to have a 50cm slope section so to drive the cars and motorbikes up onto the flat slab.

I've looked on Google and YouTube and can't find any information on how to go about angling the post saddles and to have the new posts vertical.
On the left side of the slab the saddles don't need to be fastened onto the slab and have been concreted directly into the ground and on the right side the saddles will go on top of the slab.

For a quick n easy solution I'm thinking maybe cut a tiny pie slice section out of the saddle leg and bolt it onto the slab and bolt on a post and bend the leg to have the post perfectly vertical.
Once I have the correct angle remove the post and the saddle and go about Mig welding the leg back together.

Any thoughts on an easier solution and maybe there's saddles available for an angled slab but I would like to use the same kind of saddles being used on the rest of the carport.

It looks like you have room to sink footings outside the slab and still maintain the same roof line as the existing carport.

If you were to make an adjustment to a face mounted stirrup, do it at the plate, so the full post is vertical. Will assume you are confident in your welding skills which will cater for the uplift forces.

With the minimal slope on the slab will the angle really make any difference.
Just set the stirrups and place the posts vertical.

If you really want pack the stirrups then grout underneath them, although I suspect you will need to pack both sides to get enough gap to properly grout them.

You could grind a few mm to flatten the slab where needed.

The slab is relatively flat. On a slope as you say, but flat. Grinding the concrete may result in creating some other random angle that still isn’t horizontal, and the finished result may look poor.

I would not grind or cut and weld the stirrup. It’ll probably end up rusting, and you are unlikely to get the angle correct.

If the slab is sloping in one direction (eg. North-South) but horizontal in the other (East-West) then all you need to do is orient the stirrups to suit and bolt up the post vertically. If the slab is sloping in both directions a gentle push on the bolted post will probably bend the stirrup sufficiently to get it vertical.

$35 each.... just shove a plastic wedge under the slopped side and anka screw/dynabolt/chemset. It's only holding a carport roof not a whole house.

It's only holding a carport roof not a whole house.

These look good. Better than the traditional stirrups for this application. But the downward loading is not as crucial as the possible lift that might occur if a blast of wind in a storm comes up the driveway and tries to lift the carport off its mounts.

Use the biggest bolts you can. Stainless.
