Railing Installation 
IMPORTANT: If you intend to pur-
chase and install railing on your 
new Patio Deck, you will need to 
install Railing Mounting hardware 
prior to anchoring Piers (A) or in-
stalling Pads (B). 
When installing Post Mounting 
hardware and posts, refer to the 
illustration shown (Fig. 36) for 
hardware location and railing 
lengths needed.

After four Piers (A) are 
located and anchored, place 
a Pad (B) on top of the Piers 
(A) (Fig. 41).  
Insert a Mounting Plate (N) 
into the cam way in the Pad 
(B) being sure to align the 
Bolt (P) with the hole in the 
Mounting Plate (N). The Bolt 
(P) should be protruding 
through the Mounting Plate 
(N) (Fig. 43).
