Instructions / Assembly
Prior to construction, check with your local regulatory agency for special code
requirements in your area. This product is NOT intended for use with a railing system.
The post mount is a decorative component and can only be used in those applications
where a structural mount is not required by building codes.
Step 1 - Locate center of post position on concrete surface and mark with a pencil. Drill
a 5/8" hole in the concrete a minimum of 3-1/2" deep.
Step 2 - Clean the hole with compressed air. Insert the adhesive capsule into the hole,
with the round side up. Place the threaded rod on the top of the capsule. Hammer the
threaded rod through the adhesive capsule. Clean any excess adhesive off of the con-
crete surface. Allow at least one hour to cure.
Step 3 - Place post mount over the threaded rod. Level the mount with the supplied
wedges. Place the 3x3 metal plate over the rod. Then place the flat washer, lock washer
and nut on the threaded rod. Tighten the mount, using a box wrench on the nut until the
lock washer is fully compressed.
Step 4 - Place the 4x4 post cover over the mount and seat the post into the recess.
Secure all four sides of the post with the self-tapping screws through the post and into
the post mount, using two screws on each side. Slip the skirt over the post to cover the
screws.
Step 1 - Locate center of post position on deck surface and mark with a pencil. Drill
a 5/8" hole in the substructure. The substructure can be a 2x6 cross brace secured
between the joists.
Step 2 - Insert the threaded rod through the mount and place over the drilled hole.
Level the mount with the supplied wedges. Place the 3x3 metal plate over the rod. Then
place the flat washer, lock washer and nut on the threaded rod. Repeat this process
under the deck. Tighten the mount using a box wrench on the nuts until the lock wash-
ers are fully engaged.
Step 3 - Place the 4x4 post over the mount, and seat the post into the recess. Secure all
four sides of the post with the self-tapping screws through the post and into the mount,
using two screws on each side. Slip the skirt over the post to cover the screws.
