LAG BOLT APPLICATION
Determine the desired rail placement and snap
a line on to the deck to ensure that all posts
are aligned properly (Fig. 1). Ensure sufficient
mounting structure exists in the areas to receive
posts and install blocking if necessary. Plumb the
posts using the shims provided, secure the posts
in place (Fig. 2), and install trim ring on each post.
THROUGH BOLT APPLICATIONS
For through bolt applications, use the provided
secondary mounting plate when securing posts
in place. Drill though the mounting surface using
a 3/8" drill bit. Using appropriate hardware (sold
separately), align bolts through the post mounting
flange and secondary mounting plate. Tighten
bolts, secure in place, and install trim ring on each
post.

plate, leveling shims, post cap, 2-piece trim ring,
and sandwich plate. Posts are designed and
manufactured to accept 3/8" fasteners. Post
mounting hardware is sold separately. Be sure
