Place a hurricane base on the bottom of the
aluminum column and align holes in base
with factory-drilled holes in the column.
Attach base using supplied 1/4" bolt and
nut. (Fig. 6).
Place a hurricane base plate onto the non-
drilled end of the aluminum column and
check your overall height. Lay the column
with the bases in place on a at surface to
ensure proper alignment of the bases.
Drill through each hole in the collar of the
hurricane base with a 3/8" bit (Fig. 7). The
reference lines on the aluminum column
are there to aid in aligning these holes with
the factory drilled holes. Remove the base
plate and set it aside. Remove any burrs
which may have been made by drilling the
column.
5.
Align bottom 8" centering block so its
ush to the top of the hurricane base collar
and make sure the sides of the block run
parallel to the sides of the base plate (Fig.

Set middle 8" centering block so that its
midpoint will be located at the center of the
top railing bracket, if railing will be attached
to the post (Fig. 9).
Insert Aluminum Structural Column into the
bottom of the Vinyl Sleeve (Fig 10).

Slide 4" centering extrusion around
Aluminum Structural Column and press
into Vinyl Sleeve. Slide far enough into post
