POST-IN-GROUND SYSTEM 1.5.1 What is a Post-in-Ground anchoring system? As the term indicates, Post-in Ground, means that the vertical posts for a pergola are inserted deep into concrete footings and anchored in that way. The depth of the footing and the length of the post required to be embedded into the footing is determined by the maximum depth of the frost line for a particular area. - Page 7 1.5.2 Study the posts layout requirements. First, study the posts layout requirements. Spend some time planning, yourself, so you are fully familiar with the final size you desire for your poergola.The lengths of the headers will determine the post center locations. Use the table, below, and the general guidelines to determine the post center locations.

Anyone who plans to dig should call 811 or go to their state 811 center's website before digging to request that the approximate location of buried utilities be marked with paint or flags so that you don't unintentionally dig into an underground utility line.
