[@TracyHRodriguez]

Love Monika! .. I'm surprised that just dirt holds those up.

[@StephanieMartinez-zn9vk]

Yey weekender w Monica, amazing episode. I am wondering if i can also add oning to those post, to provide some shade?

[@DrPaladium]

I used pressure-treated 4x4 posts for mine.

[@kellyb3322]

I’m just a bit confused on how the poles stay in! We just did dirt but it’s not very sturdy.

[@monicamangin5678]

You might want heavier dirt or some bagged rocks at the bottom of your planter. Sometimes potting soil can be too lightweight.

[@psychodad4634]

Has anyone used the string light poles?

[@DrPaladium]

nope, 4x4 pressure-treated posts set in quickrete concrete.
