" fasteners (sold separately) for bolting to
surface. Be sure to use appropriate fasteners for
your installation.
b. Determine the placement of the posts by evenly
spacing them along the deck. Ensure suf cient
mounting structure exists at these locations. Note
that the maximum distance between posts can be
64" inside edge of post to inside edge of post See
Step 5 (Fig. 9) for reference.
NOTE:
A minimum of 4" solid blocking is
required for standard installation.
However, additional structure may be
required depending on application.
Always refer to local building codes

Before installing posts, be sure that all posts are
facing the same direction (with side requiring
post cover all facing the same direction).
Concrete application:
Use the post assembly to mark the holes for
the concrete anchors as required by applicable
building codes. The holes in the surface
mounting plate will allow for a max size of a
