    I told the guy that built it to use some big ass wood as I was going to be in the house for a long time and wanted something that would hold up. He listened well.....

    Looks great! Wish I would have spent the money on something like that at my house in Mansfield.

    I've been wanting to build something similar for a flagstone deck that overlooks the pool. How are the posts mounted on the porch?

    Post mounts were used. The mount is bolted to concrete using a masonry anchor or screws. The wood post is inserted into boot, plumbed, and attached with 4 screws on each side. The bottoms were trimmed out.
