A hole of at least 30 cm must be dug for each pillar (for concrete blocks). 50 cm is recommended. As with the soil, you'll need to fill the hole with concrete, ideally with a bed of gravel 50 cm deep. Finally, all you need to do is form the pillars of your pergola. The concrete will take between 3 and 4 weeks to dry, depending on the weather and outside temperature. At the end, all you have to do is fix your pillars directly onto the concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
