Prior to construction:
• Ensure post location is compatible with railing, prior to securing to the deck,
place both posts in position, and lay the bottom rail along the stair nosing from
top to bottom adjacent to both posts. On the rail side of the post, measure up
from the top of the rail and ensure there is a minimum of 34" to the top of the
post. Post location may need to be adjusted to ensure minimum is obtained.
Repeat this step for the bottom post.
• For a wood deck, position the post so the fasteners will go into the blocking,
and make sure the decking is firmly attached to the joists at the location of the
posts. Proper structural blocking/framing under the decking material is required
when attaching the post to a wood frame deck because decking alone is not
approved as structural framing.
Step 1 Begin by determining where the top and bottom post will be located.
Mark the desired location of the post.
Step 2 Four 3/8" diameter mounting holes are provided on the base. When
final position is determined, mark hole locations and remove the post assembly.
Drill the marked locations through decking and into structural blocking.
Step 3 Reposition the post assembly with the leveling plate inserted between
the deck and the post base, and aligned with the predrilled holes. Insert the
post fasteners (NOT INCLUDED), and partially tighten. Using a level, adjust
the leveling set screws with a 3/16" allen wrench until the post is plumb. Fully
tighten the post fasteners to secure the base to the deck structure.
STOP – Make sure post base trim is installed
before continuing.
