stone pergola
Regarding the stone uprights..
Some 8 plus years ago Paul Lindhard (Art City Ventura Ca) and I built pads
and placed about eight
sandstone columns. BIG ones. I think that the largest one was between
15-20' Some 10 Ton plus. The pad was not that deep, maybe 8 or 10" but the
surface area was. about 4 ' plus Sq. This is earthquake land. We did this...
Drilled the bottom before standing up with a core drill 3' plus into the
stone and sleaved with brass (1/4" if I remember correctly) then set a
sleave into the pad by tapeing the bottom of the sleave and used the S/Steel
pin set into it to get the verticle. When we stood them up (What a fun day
that was) the pad had been given lots of time to set. Placed the pin into
the pad, lifted the columns with a crane and dropped them down onto the pin.
The idea being that if the earthquake came they would 'bounce'. Now , the
top....another question!
