    Question
    The swing pergola I’m planning on building the same design. I love it.
    Instead of two chairs hanging, I’m thinking about a 6 foot swing. In your opinion, would the frame accept the swinging motion back and forwards?

  • @sendmedics
    @sendmedics 8 місяців тому +1

    Looks great! Fourteen bags of concrete for two posts in absolutely insane! Where are you located? I assume you dropped them in 4 feet due to the frost line? Also, did you add gravel to the base of the hole before you dropped in your posts? Placing them strain into the ground with the concrete is sure to rot them out much faster.

    • @tdz69
      @tdz69 6 місяців тому

      They probably used 12 foot posts. You’re supposed to bury a third of the overall length, which would leave the height at about 8ft. I agree seems like a LOT of concrete to use. I wonder if they used gravel at the base of the footing also.

      You need one that tall. Rule of thumb with posts is to have it buried 1/3 it’s length. This would give you 8 feet exposure with a 12 foot length.

      @MaulerX 5 місяців тому +2

      I agree with this. There's no way that went in 4ft deep. They probably used an 8ft tall beam. Sunk it 2ft and had about 6ft exposed for the egg shaped swings. You can just tell by looking at the swings.

      Really depends what the soil is like in your area. I have a smaller 1-person auger and I was able to dig the first foot in less than 30 seconds. Ran into one large rock, and the next 2 feet were only another few minutes.
      I live in an area that isn’t very rocky, and doesn’t have thick clay though.
