Wow...that's quite the project! Can't wait to see what that looks like in a year or two!

Looking great! However, I do worry about those stakes breaking due to them not being treated for the outdoors. I used to use untreated woods, they would collapse after a year or 2, especially if they had exposure to rain. How deep did you bury them?

Looks like the bottoms have been coated with something.

Looks like they primed the bottom of the stakes :^) sweet
