Building Outdoor Pergola ALONE!
What happens here
The video begins with an overview of the existing 16x25 foot paver patio. The creator then measures out the desired dimensions for the pergola, aiming for a 12x20 foot structure to fit within the pavers. To prepare for the pergola's footings, he carefully removes the pavers and the underlying grid where the posts will be located. He removes enough pavers to allow for the placement of concrete forms that will house the post anchors.
Goal: Determine pergola dimensions and clear space for footings
