Installation Guide

POST INSTALLATION TO DECK (CONTINUED)
Step 5: Loosely Tighten the Post
To allow rail and/or stair installation, loosely tighten the nuts, leaving the bolt heads
approximately 1-in above the baseplate (Figure 4)
Step 6: Attach Post Baseplate Cover
After the rails and/or stairs have been installed, plumb and tighten the posts.
Position both halves of the baseplate cover on either side of the post above the
baseplate and below the bottom rail. Align the locking pins on one half to the
matching holes on the other half and slide together.
Optional: Apply PVC adhesive to the locking pins prior to sliding halves together for a
secure fit (Figure 5)
Step 3: Drill Holes
Using a 1/4-in masonry drill bit, drill four holes into the concrete to a minimum
depth of 3 1/2-in. Thoroughly clean the holes from all dust and debris.

Step 2: Mark Holes to be Drilled
Using the post baseplate as a template, mark the concrete surface for drill locations
for each of the four corner holes (Figure 2)
POST INSTALLATION TO CONCRETE
Step 1: Position Posts for Concrete
Locate posts at equal intervals along the outside of concrete (up to 72-in maximum),
placing the edge of the baseplate a minimum of 3 5/8-in from the edge of the
concrete (Figure 1).
