I was thinking of ordering a conservatory from skånskabyggvaror
((UL 4) Conservatory frame 14 m² (390x370x260x225 cm)
Art nr: 602268)
This frame includes two laminated wood posts at the front. How should I secure these posts at the bottom? I was thinking of building a base frame on plinths (like a deck frame), but I can't lower these posts to the plinth since they are not pressure-treated?
One thought I had was to skip the included posts and use regular 95x95 posts that go from the plinth up to the roof.

Don't be in such a hurry my friend. It is summer after all.
Sure, you can lower the posts to the plinth. The trick is just that they should not rest directly on the plinth; instead, attach a couple of plinth irons and mount the post with a small air gap from the concrete. Also make sure to oil and paint the underside of the post first.
