      @@DiscoFang Maybe for some across the pond from the us, I follow just fine. Measurements really don't matter so much so long as you do the job correctly. I sometimes use metric where being a bit more exact is important. For a job like this, use imperial or metric, whatever you know.

    Hi Karrina,
    If you wanted to put posts in your planter boxes to hold a pergola you would need a lot of concrete in the bottom of them, at least 450mm deep, so that would make your planters very high. You would also need to have drain holes through the concrete to allow water to escape, so all in all you could but it would look a little strange. It would be best to concrete posts into the ground the build your planters around the posts. Hope that helps.
