Laying out your Footprint
To determine the proper placement of your
5 1/2” x 5 1/2” Posts, see the exploded view
on Page 2 to find the measurements and to
determine their correct positions. Outside
Post to Post measurements for the 10’x12’
Breeze are: 144” x 120”.
Inside Diagonal Post to Post measurement is
172”. Take diagonal measurements to check
your layout for square.
We recommend that you fix Posts to ground
using Steel Post Bases or Saddle Brackets
fixed on concrete footing. If attaching Posts
to pre-existing deck, we recommend that you
purchase Post / Deck Mounting Brackets. In
both cases, Post Mounting hardware can be
found at most Hardware Stores.

Important - Western Red Cedar Lumber and Timbers will
have surface splitting that occurs as lumber seasons
and drys to the moisture content in your area. Splitting
or “checking”, as it is referred to, can be 1/8” to 1/4”
wide and can run several feet. This does not diminish
the structural integrity of the material in any way.
