Using a step ladder guide the top vinyl columns over the
wood 4x4 posts down into position.
*Ensure the holes at the top of the posts are orientated
correctly for future beam and rafter placement as per
illustration.
Finally, adjust post heights accordingly to ensure future level
installation of beams and rafters as necessary. If slope is severe
causing a height difference between the posts, you may need
to trim down the bottom of two or more of your posts as
necessary.
Secure the posts to the wood posts using 2 - 2 1/2” (64 mm)
screws at 8” (20 cm) up from the bottom on 2 sides, and 2 more
approximately 36” (91 cm) high on 2 opposite sides.
