  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I added onto my deck and then built a 12 x 28 pergola. Pergola is supported by five 8"x8" pressure wood treated posts. It's anchored to the concrete deck with anchors into the deck. I built a 18" box around the posts to cover the anchors with 2"x12" pressure treated wood.

Question. I am thinking about using that box as a form and filling with concrete and then possibly covering the concrete with stone. It'll look a lot better than the current wooden boxes. Do I need to treat the posts or cover with plastic before pouring the concrete?
