The slats are made from a synthetic timber substitute called ModWood (slightly more expensive than similar normal timber but maintenance free )- which is screwed using a coarse threaded timber screw onto some pine - about 2*3 inches or so  in section running vertically up the sides of the conctere columns that are dynabolted into the concrete. All the holes in the slats were pre-drilled through to the pine and countersunk.

Ah.  I see it now.  (Looking at the pic with your "supervisor")   Thank you for the explanation.  It looks great.  I am pondering a project for my backyard, and was thinking of using a similar timber substitute myself.
