Pergola Columns

08/27/2005 10:52 AM mom2pwd

Hi,

I have a redwood pergola in my back yard. The support columns are poured in concrete, however the previous owner let the agapanthus plants get way too overgrown and the roots started using the columns for nourishment, taking about 1/2" deep x 2" high area on the beam. I have dug away the roots and removed the plants. The posts are right next to a faux-cobblestone patio, but the concrete that the posts are sunk in is about 2" below the level of the patio. The pergola is pretty sturdy as it stands now (doesn't sway in the breeze or anything), but I'd like to help shore it up. Is there a way to do this without replacing the entire column?

TIA,
Karen
