If you notice that the posts of your pergola are deformed at the bottom, this is likely caused by water accumulation inside the post, which then freezes during winter. This can result in damage to the posts.
To prevent this issue in the future, please ensure that water can properly drain from the posts. Proper drainage is essential to avoid water build-up and freezing during colder months.
In cases where the post has been damaged, it will need to be replaced. Replacement columns can be purchased, please reach out to our customer service team if you would like to place an order for this.
