Building a Pergola with the Deck Foot Anchor

Mel's DIY Project

When it comes to innovative DIY projects, Mel C.'s pergola build stands out as a great example of creativity and craftsmanship. Using the Deck Foot Anchor, Mel constructed a stunning pergola on a paver foundation, showcasing the product’s versatility and reliability.

A Creative Solution for a Paver Foundation

For his project, Mel removed the paver stones, drilled into the gravel below, and used the galvanized convex load plate for ground contact. He then filled the gap with pea stone, creating a solid and stable foundation for his pergola.

At the time of this project, Mel may not have been aware of our flat load plate, which is specifically designed to sit on top of pavers.

However, he may have preferred this method, as both approaches are acceptable ways to install the Deck Foot Anchor for a pergola.

His method highlights the product’s adaptability to different installation preferences and site conditions.
