How to attach a pergola to a composite terrace?

Ah, the pergola, that little corner of paradise shaded from the sun's rays! You've got a composite terrace and you're wondering how to securely anchor this structure? Don't panic, it's as simple as that. First of all, imagine your pergola towering majestically over your terrace. To do this, you'll need to play a little mason. Grab a shovel and dig some holes, not too big, not too small, but just right - say 50 cm deep - where the posts of your pergola will take root. Put in a little sand and gravel to make a cozy bed. Then carefully plant each foot of your pergola in these holes. Now for the magic moment: the concrete! Pour it in lovingly, taking care to keep your posts as straight as royal guards.

How do you fit a pergola on a terrace?

If you think putting a pergola on a terrace is a headache, think again! It's as easy as putting a hat on your head. You can opt for concrete blocks, to be placed directly on the terrace.

Then assemble your posts on these studs. The most common method of securing your pergola is by drilling, a technique worthy of the finest craftsmen.
