1. Dig Hole 24 inches deep (12" below frostline)

2. Add 4 inches of pea gravel for proper drainage
3. 6 inches of 12" wide sono tube for footing
4. 16 inches of 8" wide sono tube for pier
5. Place rebar in base of footing (no 12" sono tube here because hole was 12" across. So we brought 8" sono tube up above pea gravel about 6 inches.

6. Mix concrete (approx. 1 1/2 bags per hole) and pour until halfway up sono tube.
7. Insert "L" shaped rebar then finish concrete to top of sono tube.

8. After 1 hour (less if hot day) insert 4x4 post bracket.
9. Pour another 6" of pea gravel for drainage.

 10. Backfill with dirt and tamp down every few inches until
filled to top of sono tube.

Add additional Pier Blocks for interim support for run of over 6 feet.

 Finished frame boards using 2 2x8's with 12-inch pieces of 1/2 inch plywood sandwiched between for even more strength.
