Just wondering what size of post used and if they are buried, sitting on piles, or just attached to fence. Thanks

Hi - the posts are 4x4 and are sunk in concrete. For a structure this tall (8') I would sink them at least 3'; 4' is better if not in a sheltered spot (from wind). Thanks for the question!

Which would you rather, roasted almonds or salted cashews?

I can't believe that you didn't mention pistachios, those more-ish destroyers of thumb nails! Cashews definitely, which a friend with an allergy tells me are true tree nuts. A few years ago when backpacking in Sri Lanka, in the little town of Ella, we had the most amazing cashews, wok fried done with crispy onions, curry leaves and a spice mix I still haven't nailed (there's definitely chilli in there).

Where do your guests leave their shoes?
Q

In Singapore and many other countries it has become apart of cultural etiquette for visitors to remove their shoes at the door before walking into your home. However, with most Singaporeans living in HDBs this can get quite cluttered. Post a photo and let us know where you ask your guests to store their shoes during their visit!

I'm not sure how the contractor did this one, but toenailing the framing together usually works. This allows the nail to go in at an angle. Nailing or bolting straight down from the top member into the top of the post isn't a good idea as you would be connecting straight into end grain, which should be avoided. Always use large nails so you get a good bite.

Hi Sathak, I know this post is quite old, but hoping you’ll read my question: Did you put the posts in concrete first and then attach the top, bottom and then the trellis? Or did you assemble the entire structure first and then dropped it in the holes and poured concrete? I look forward to your reply. Many thanks

Hi Savio,

I'm stepping in here with my thoughts. I would set the posts first then build the panels within them. I think it would be so heavy if you built everything first it would be difficult to hold it up and level everything. It's easier to set posts individually and get them plumb and aligned; the rest just follows and you cut the pieces to fit.

hi Savio, I made the entire structure and dig around 2 feet and pour the concrete around the posts.

If you're going to bury the posts in concrete coating the part that will be buried with copper green is a good idea to help protect from rotting. Make sure you slope the top of the concrete away from the post so water doesn't collect.
