Create a Pergola Base with Car Tyres

Gather Materials

Start by gathering all necessary materials such as car tyres, concrete, wooden beams, and gravel.

Prepare the Ground

Clear and level the area where the pergola will be installed. Mark the spots where the tyres will be placed.

Position the Tyres

Place the tyres in the marked spots to serve as the base for the pergola posts.

Fill Tyres with Concrete

Mix concrete according to the manufacturer's instructions and fill each tyre to provide stability.

Install Pergola Posts

Once the concrete is set, position the wooden beams vertically in the centre of each tyre and ensure they are plumb.

Secure the Structure

Brace the wooden beams until the concrete fully cures. Check for alignment and stability throughout this process.
