Questions & Answers
There isn't a black finish on this. This is raw wood with no finish.
Because I was concerned that the structure would be top heavy and could tip if the ground settled or blow over in a strong wind, I used concrete footing blocks (Home Depot) and galvanized brackets made to fit into the tops of the blocks. To keep the post bottoms from rotting, I buried the blocks, leveled and squared everything, and inserted the fittings into the blocks. The building is extremely sturdy and should be able to withstand severe winter storms. If the posts were simply sitting on the ground with no anchoring system, I would be very concerned about their stability. It's too heavy, and it's on the top of the list of things to avoid. That's why it's heavy.
