Hi all,
The arbors / pergola's / arches in the sheds are around 2.4m tall. How much of this (on the legs) gets buried in the ground or do they stand free?
I am thinking of building my own, and was going to use sawn treated timber as follows:
4 Legs 47x100x2400 (would of liked to use 100mm square posts but they are double the price...
2 cross beams 47x75x2000
7 roof beams 47x75x1000.
Trellis panels made of 19x32 (40x1800 lengths).
All this coming in at about £60.
Ending up with a structure 2.4m high, 2m wide and 1m deep with trellis to sides and rear.Then will put a bench in it.
Best way of securing it to the ground / does it need securing at all?
Cheers
