After you have determined where the posts will be located,
excavate 10” diameter x 36” deep post holes.
After holes are dug and cleaned, place the 4x4 wood post (not
included) into a hole ensuring it’s level and square to string lines.
The final post height should be no more than 67” out of the ground.
If a post is higher because of obstructed excavation of footings,
please cut down in height accordingly.
Fill the vacant hole with pre-mixed concrete all the way to
within 3” of the top of the hole.
If the middle post will be going onto an existing concrete or deck,
then follow the next step by using a bolt down bracket (sold separately):
