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 
Position  Side  1  with  the  arrow  facing  up  against  the  post.  Fit  the 
bottom of the post into the bottom ring.  Face screw the Post Cover 
through the rings and into the wood post using 2 ½" screws. Screw 
through the post in a grout line or at the base of a rock as this will 
hide the screws. Measure up 13" and 26" and face screw through the 
posts and into the rings. (fig. 6) 
Step 6 
After  securing  Side  1  in  place,  fit  side  2  into  place.    Make  sure  the 
arrow is facing up. Dry fit the piece to make sure all finger joints line 
up and are tight. Secure side 2 at the ring heights as described above.
