What happens here
The video prominently displays numerous vertical wooden posts, referred to as 'sticks sticking up out of the ground,' which are the main support elements for the entire overhead structure. These posts are strategically placed to define the footprint of both the pavilion and pergola sections. Proper measurement and leveling are crucial during this step to ensure the stability and alignment of the finished structure. The posts are likely anchored into concrete footings beneath the pavers for long-term durability and resistance to uplift or settling.
Goal: Install the primary vertical supports for the pavilion and pergola.
