Yes sir!

You can see in this the photo the helical ground anchor that is lagged to the post. The anchor is 3” diameter and 36” in the ground. The “ground” is 8 tons of crushed limestone hardened with concrete.
These are two of these massive ground anchors at the center posts and 30” ground anchors connected directly to the 4 corner posts with aircraft cable.

Brethren helping Brethren is what its all about!
That structure is looking great and from the description aint going nowhere. Nice to have that covered area to sit, enjoy and put your cook on; which it looks like you already did with them Bones!
Looking forward to the finished project, its going to be great!!

I see zero cross bracing. Plus I think you'll be unhappy tracking that wet stone dust everywhere. You'll see.
BUT - I am a fan of your Q-Salt and gave friends the Hot Salt so I am on your side!!!

Along with the dirt and the mud from everywhere else, yes. Wet stone dust is an upgrade

When I do get tired of the stone dust is when the pavers go in. I’ve already got the base.
