What happens here

After the concrete slab has fully cured, remove the OSB covering the wet anchors. Cut four 4x4 posts to the desired height for the pergola. Insert these posts into the wet anchors set in the concrete. Secure each post from the inside of the grilling station base using screws, ensuring they are plumb and sturdy.

Goal: Securely install vertical posts to support the pergola structure.

Tools and materials

  • 4x4 Wood Posts — The main vertical supports for the pergola
  • Cordless Drill/Driver DeWalt — Removing screws and securing posts
  • Jigsaw DeWalt — Cutting out OSB sections for posts
  • Level — Checking if posts are plumb
  • Miter Saw DeWalt — Cutting 4x4 posts to length
  • Screws — Securing the posts from the inside of the base

for any time at all you know that I attend to messed up on some projects right now it's not a mistake I'm trying to figure out how to put the pergola for the post because I got to let this mortar drive for 48 hours I figured I'll work on another part of the project I can't figure out how to mount this pergola in terms of weight distribution all this stuff safely so we're gonna connect it to the post that i have here the anchor set and the other part of the leg is gonna have to go in here now I don't want to mount it on top but I do want to do is fortunately this is a two-piece thing I'm going to remove this OSB I'm gonna put the pole by for post and secure it from the inside to the studs that I write here it's actually go away down in here so that way you'll give us adequate structural support and then we'll replace it it happens I'm okay with it we're just gonna start taking it apart see carrying it in and start building this thing out
