Both procedures are outlined below.
EXTERNAL POST TOP
Apply liquid nails to all four internal walls of the post
top. Sleeve the post top over the post and seat down
by hand then level the post top.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This will generally be the most complex part of any installation. Please take the time to draw it
out on a piece of paper before setting any posts in the ground. Having to remove posts that are
concreted in can be very disheartening! And remember we are always here to help you get it right
so if you are unsure please ask.
There are three methods for dealing with sloping ground. The examples below are based around an 1800mm high wall.
