Insert the trimmed end of the 4 in. x 4 in.
wood post into the mount. If necessary,
place a shim under the mount to make the
post plumb and true). If the wood post is
loose within the mounting bracket, secure
the wood post with (3) #8 x 1 in. at-head
screws (not included) on the sides with pre-
punched holes.
Insert a 5/16 in. x 5 in. galvanized hex bolt
into the mount holes and the drilled holes
(galvanized bolts and nuts, not included).
Secure the four bolts underneath the
reinforcement boards with the 5/16 in.
fender washer (included In kit) and 5/16 in.
galvanized hex nuts (not included).
Slide the post sleeve (not included) over
the 4 in. x 4 in. treated wood post until it
contacts the base of the mount.
Wood installation
Note: The thickness of the wood/composite
deck and reinforcement boards underneath
the deck must be a minimum of 4 in. (two
treated and structurally sound 2 in. x 8 in.
lumber under the deck board), unless
otherwise specied by local building codes.
Determine the desired locations and fasten
the reinforcement boards with 3 in. stainless
steel fasteners as shown, prior to install the
deck surface. Continue to step 2 after the
deck surface is installed.
Cut the post sleeve to desired length.
The wood post is typically 1 in. to 2 in.
shorter than the post sleeve length. Cut the
length of the 4 in. x 4 in. wood post insert if
required.
Note: If required, cut on the untrimmed end
of the wood insert.
Use the base of the mount as a template
and mark the four corner holes on the deck
surface. Mark inside square of bracket on
the deck surface.
Drill four 3/8 in. holes at the marked
locations, drilling through the deck board
and the reinforcement boards. Drill a 3/8 in.
drainage hole in square through deck board
and reinforcement boards for drainage.
