Posts are complete


Each outside post is an 8X8 or larger, depending on the support necessary. All the posts are then built up in a tapered look. Later during the construction each post will be clad in dry stacked stone from the ground up. The taper is fairly aggressive. For example the rear deck posts are 14' tall. They start at 8X8 but with the additional taper the top is 10X10. The taper is 1" for each vertical foot so the bottom is 14" larger than the top (on each side. The base of the large posts will therefore be 38" X 38"
