Thank you very much for your answers! I'll ask the pool company to
provide solid footing (18" thick concrete) where the posts will be,
and then I will
let the cabana people anchor on top. Again, THANK YOU!

Hello,

I am building a pool deck and want to place a 15'x18' cabana (four
columns, roof) on top of it. The cabana is held up by 8x8" posts and
has a shingled roof. My question is because the cabana company wants
to have the pool company pour the deck, making it a bit thicker where
the posts will be, and then use concrete anchors to anchor the posts
to the pool deck. The pool company thinks they should place the posts
before they pour the deck so they are set in the concrete instead,
making it sturdier...any opinions?

Thanks,
