and at least 3” thick.
2. Using the leveling plate as a template, mark the locations of the
4 mounting holes to be drilled.
3. Drill 4 holes into the concrete using a 3/8" diameter masonry
drill bit. The hole must be drilled to a minimum depth of 3-1/2".
- Remove all dust and debris from the holes
4. Install the 4 leveling screws into the threaded holes in the post
mount’s flange.
5. Place the leveling plate on the concrete surface and align over
the 4 drilled holes.
6. Place the post mount on top of the leveling plate and align the
4 holes.
7. Install the 4 concrete bolts as shown by applying downward
pressure while turning in a clockwise direction. Tighten to about
1/4” from the leveling plate.
8. Adjust the leveling screws as necessary to ensure the post

post mount’s flange
6. Place the leveling plate on the decking surface and align
over the 4 drilled holes.
7. Place the post mount on top of the leveling plate and align
the 4 holes.
8. Install the 4 mounting bolts with washers as shown,
9. On the underside, place the bottom plate over the exposed
mounting bolts. (Use the centered holes for in-line applications
