Installation Guide

2 Piece Post Cover Installaon
1) Post covers are 41” tall. Measure up 41” on the post. Cut the post to this height. (Fig. 1)
2) If using a 6x6 post, skip ahead to #6.
3) When using a 4x 4 post, either r out the post to 5 ½x
5 ½ or use the oponal Converter Kit Rings. 4 pieces per kit. (Fig. 2)
4) Place the boom ring (marked B), ange down, onto the deck. Predrill the
four sides and aach the ring to the post using 2” galvanized screws. Use shims to
make the ring snug and centered on post.(Fig. 3)
5) Measure up 13 ½” and 27 ½ “ from the deck. Use a Speed Square to
mark a line around the post at these heights. Slide the 2 rings (marked
M) so the boom of the ring is on these lines, shim and screw in place
as described above. (Fig. 4)
If aaching railings, the following must be done PRIOR to the placement
and aachment of the post.
Measure up and mark on the post to the height of the boom and top rail.
Fir out the post on these faces at these heights an addional 1". These
will act as the landings for the rail mounts. Use a 3"x3" x1" block. Center
the block at the scribed line . ( Fig. 5)
Consult local codes for height requirements of rails.
6) Posion Side 1, with the arrow facing up. Seat the boom of the post
into the boom ring. Face screw the post to the rings using 2 1/2" galvanized
screws. It is best to screw through the post in a grout line or at the base of a
rock. This will make it easier to hide the screws. Measure up 14" and 28"
and screw through into the rings at this height. The posts are designed with a
grout line at these heights. (Fig. 6)
7) Place the top ring and seat in the top of the post. Shim to make the post
plumb. Screw through the indented areas into the post. (Fig. 7)
8) Aer securing side 1 in place, move side 2 into place. Make
sure the arrow is facing up. Dry t the piece to make sure all
“T” joints line up and are ght. Secure side 2 at the ring
heights described above. (Fig. 8)
