Installation Instructions (continued)
4. Set the post in a typical posthole with desired footing & backfill material. Post should
be set with the Post Protector logo facing “inside” the building. This allows for a flat
side both inside & outside for ease of framing. The “vertical” rib sides will be
“inside” the wall of your building.
5. Set your string line “above” the top edge of the Post Protectors to align the posts. Or,
you may also use a roofing nail or screw to draw the Post Protectors firmly &
uniformly against the “outside” of the posts to be sure the string line post alignment
is accurate.
6. Install the base pressure treated board directly over the Post Protector. This will have
no ill affect on your sidewall profile! Post Protectors will show that your postholes
vary in depth. If you want the Post Protectors at a uniform height on the unfinished
inside of your building, simply measure up from the top edge of the baseboard &
mark to desired height above finished floor. Trim by dropping a horizontal sawzall
blade on (4) sides, then a vertical cut with a utility knife to remove excess material.
7. Overhead Door - To allow for post / jamb trim installation, trim jamb side of the Post
Protector to approximately ¼ “ above finished floor. Silicone seal top, horizontal
edge of Post Protector where trimmed. Install post trim covering the Post Protector.
