That's something that we're going to get into in a little bit, but we're going to start with our foundation, which is our post.

If you were building this as a standalone structure, you would put each one of those posts onto a dedicated footing. So, we've got a 20 by 20 roof structure that we're building on top of this deck. We're going to have four posts. We're gonna have two at the house and two on the outside. Getting the post installed is very simple.
