I'm trying to make a hosting friending pergola setup in the backyard and need some advice.

Okay, so this is my first big project so might hire some help when I fail for some parts, but I need this forum to confirm if my plan is sound. Location : East Palo Alto dig 4" and lay down 2" of crushed gravel (12' x 14'6" ) Lay down some 24x24x2 pavers from Home Depot (10$ / paver) - pattern for width 24+6+24+6+24+6+24+6+24 = 144" - pattern for length ((24 + 6)*5)+ 24 = 174" fill the gaps with crushed gravel, top off with mulch glue setup 11x13 pergola from Yardistry (Costco) and just anchor it onto the pavers (2K) Questions : 1. Is Anchoring to the pavers good enough? I think it should be since winds aren't strong here. 2. Can I use outdoor adhesive to attach 2cm tiles to the pavers? I don't see why not, they look like a high ROI https://preview.redd.it/y8iulopowbve1.png?width=1226&format=png&auto=webp&s=41f2e09d0811dc94d21120fd48eb95665638205c submitted by /u/someone4someone [link] [comments]

  1. dig 4" and lay down 2" of crushed gravel (12' x 14'6" )
  2. Lay down some 24x24x2 pavers from Home Depot (10$ / paver) - pattern for width 24+6+24+6+24+6+24+6+24 = 144"
    - pattern for length ((24 + 6)*5)+ 24 = 174"
  3. fill the gaps with crushed gravel, top off with mulch glue
  4. setup 11x13 pergola from Yardistry (Costco) and just anchor it onto the pavers (2K)

Questions :
1. Is Anchoring to the pavers good enough? I think it should be since winds aren't strong here.
2. Can I use outdoor adhesive to attach 2cm tiles to the pavers? I don't see why not, they look like a high ROI
