Set Posts and Construct Main Frame

What happens here

Excavate holes at each marked corner point to the required depth for post stability. Carefully lift and position the previously ripped 6x6 pressure-treated posts into these holes. Pour concrete around the base of each post to secure it firmly in place. While the concrete is setting, use additional pressure-treated beams to construct the horizontal top frame of the pergola, connecting the tops of the vertical posts. Utilize a level and measuring tape to verify that the entire structure is square and level before the concrete completely cures, making any necessary adjustments to the posts or beams.

Goal: Dig holes for the prepared posts, set them in concrete, and then assemble the horizontal top frame using additional pressure-treated beams, ensuring the structure is square and level before the concrete fully cures.
