Pergola repairs?

I have seen none re enforced brick pillars simply break off at a low mortar joint when used in the way you suggest. The brick pillar outside my front door is about 1' square in section and over 9' high. It has held up the corner of a heavy, tiled roof for at least 35 years without complaint or deterioration. (Whether or not it is reinforced internally I know not) but some pillars built like it is would be vastly overspecified for any pergola I could imagine. -- ®óñ© © ²°¹°-°¹ |
