SLATESTONE POST COVER

INSTALLATION

Step 1

Measure up 41" on the post and cut the post to this height. (fig. 1)

Step 2

When using a 4 x 4 post, either fir out the post to

5 ½" x 5 ½" or use the optional sold separately

Converter Kit Rings. (fig. 2)

Step 3 (using optional Converter Kit Rings)

Place the bottom ring (marked B) flange down onto the base

surface. Pre-drill the four sides and attach the ring to the post

using 2" screws. Use wood shims to keep the ring snug and

centered on post if needed. (fig. 3)

Step 4

Measure up 13" and 26" from the base. Use a Speed

Square to mark a line around the post at these

heights. Slide the 2 rings (marked M) to these heights and

screw in place as described above. (fig. 4)

Note:

If attaching railings, measure up and mark on the post to the

height of the bottom and top rail. Fir out the post an additional

1" at these heights. These will act as the landings for the rail

mounts. Use a 3" x 3" x 1" block. Center the block at the scribed

line . (Fig. 5)

Consult local codes for height requirements of rails.

Step 5

Slide the post over the rings and fit the bottom of the post into the

bottom ring. When securing the Post Cover, it is best to screw

through the post in a grout line as this will hide the screws.

Measure up 13" and 26" and face screw the post into the rings

using 2 ½" screws . (fig. 6)

Note:

If using a 6 x 6 post, slide the Post Cover over the post and secure

using 2 "screws as described in Step 5 above. Be sure to shim the

top of the post making sure it’s plumb before screwing the Post Cover onto the post.
