Hey Roshan, all of the music I use in my videos is from the Audio Library on TH-cam Studio. You don’t need to make videos to access it! There are 10’s of thousand of rights-free songs like these on there, and you just download them straight to your computer. It’s all free!
That’s a given, Mr Crack. The poured footings are indeed level across the 12” poured surface, providing plumb posts, which are then, in turn, cut at the appropriate relative heights to create a level roof structure. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this great video! Can I know what kind of tool did you use to position the post bases? I’m going to do the same project but it could be challenging for me to put those bases in the right places. Thank you!
You’ll probably need a hammer drill with a masonry bit. I used 1/2” concrete fasteners, so you’ll need whatever can get you the right sized hole in the concrete! A small hammer drill won’t work for the depth you need
Along with dispersing the weight of each point load downward, the footings serve as anchors resisting uplift as well. In a situation like this, (think elevated decks too), most of the structural engineering has to do with keeping the structure from lifting upward in a high wind event! These footings are 320 lbs each. That’s why they’re so big.
Exactly the video I was looking for, thanks
I’m looking for those post anchors. Where?
Great job! What kind of pavers and size?
I came here to ask the same 😂
Hey Jacob - what's the music used in the video. Sounds pretty cool.

Since the pavers are graded for drainage, the footings not will be level or plumb either.

Love the video. Subscribed. Also, where did you get the post bases?
They were from a fabricator in Wisconsin called Cutting Edge Metals. Really great company!
You dug 30” x 12”? To put 1/2 in anchor bolts? What am I missing?

How deep did you dig?
The hole was 30” deep and 12” diameter
Good job like it
Wouldn’t it rot the posts
Nope! They’re designed with 1-1/2” cavity at the base, and the substrate for the pavers is sand, which extends well below the bottom of the cavity.
