Pressure treated wood vs concrete

I built out a prefab pergola from Costco accross a 3 inch slope on a concrete pad. I made this little setup for two posts to built it level but now I need to attach it permanently. My question is how to do that… I’m thinking I could just get some pressure treated wood and set it up a bit similar to the pic above, secure it to the tapcons? Or do I need to pour a few concrete footers here? Is that DIY-able? Any advice appreciated! submitted by /u/FoldableDisco [link] [comments]
