Surface Mounting Post Installation
(All concrete anchors, carriage bolts, lags or
composite shims must be provided by
installer)
CONCRETE:
When mounting onto concrete, we recommend that
the concrete be in good condition and where the
Surface Mounting Posts are to attach that the
concrete is a minimum of 4" thick.
- Use a commercial grade support anchor to
attach Surface Mounting Post to the
concrete.
- Measure where the Surface Mounting
Posts
will be installed and mark where each anchor
or anchors will be installed. We recommend
using 3/8" diameter concrete anchors for all
4" Surface Mounting Posts and 1/2" Diameter
anchors for all 5" Surface Mounting
Posts. We
recommend a minimum of two anchors for each
Surface Mounting Post
- Drill anchor holes at manufactures required
depth.
- Remove all concrete dust out of drilled
holes.
- Insert anchors into drilled holes.
- Install Surface Mounting Post and level or
plumb with shims. (We recommend using
composite shims)
- Tighten anchor bolts as specified by
anchor manufacture.
- Slide vinyl post over Surface Mounting
Post.
- Repeat steps 1 thru 8 until all Surface
Mounting Posts are installed.
CONCRETE RETAINING WALLS:
When mounting onto concrete retaining walls,
make sure that the concrete is in good
condition and can support the
Surface
Mounting Post. We recommend that concrete
retaining walls be a minimum of 8" wide
(thick) for both 4" and 5"
Surface
Mounting Posts.
Use the same installation procedure as for
concrete and follow steps 1 thru 9.
