Building a DECK and PERGOLA - Full Build Time Lapse!
What happens here
Utilize a mini excavator equipped with an auger attachment to drill deep, precise holes into the prepared ground. Once the holes are drilled, install helical piers into each hole by screwing them down until they reach the required bearing capacity. Ensure each pier is perfectly vertical and level using a spirit level, as these will form the stable foundation for the entire deck structure.
Goal: Create a stable and secure foundation for the new deck structure
