I meant a base for the pillar framed out of wood, a bit larger than the pillar in diameter and square, not round, faced with brick, or stucco, or manufactured stone to provide a foundation for the pillars, not necessarily the columns themselves, stuccoed.

It looks like paths between the raised beds. My mistake.

Do you have any other suggestion?
I was thinking maybe the same poly sheeting stretched on a lightweight redwood frame that hooks to the top beam of the pergola. It'd store nice and flat and go up and down quickly, and you wouldn't have to staple plastic to your uprights.
