What happens here
Use a post hole auger to dig deep holes for the pergola posts in the designated locations. Place the stained 4x6 posts into the holes, ensuring they are perfectly level and plumb using a spirit level. Pour quick-setting concrete mix around the base of each post to securely anchor them in place. Allow the concrete to cure fully before proceeding with the rest of the pergola assembly.
Goal: Securely anchor pergola posts for structural stability.
