Outdoor objects such as gazebos, porches, arbors, and pergolas require strong basic foundation called footing. This concrete foundation fortify the arbor and protects the wooden parts of the arbor from direct contact with the earth. Posts and beams that come in direct contact with the earth rot more quickly and ultimately weakens the structure.
Many municipalities have code regulations on footings depth and width, type, and fill material. When building an outdoor structure, it is best to check with a contractor or the building inspector in your municipality regarding building codes.
You can use various types of wood, but we recommend Redwood, Cedar, Cypress, Pressure Treated Wood, Tropical Hardwood
