Installing a Pergula from a Kit

Phyllis bought a 9'x8' pergula online for her patio. She hired me to build it and set it up. It was pretty straightforward until I had to anchor the post brackets in cement. I used a good ole tried and true trick: mason string. With Post Set Cement no pre-mixing is involved. Just add water to the hole, set post and fill with dry mix. It sets up in about 5min. I dampened it down with some gravel.

This job took me 4hours and it was a two-person job.

FYI: The pergula was made of PVC plastic. Caps, edges and decorative elements were glued on.
