bracing

Pine timber beams can be used
to support the posts near the top 
and bottom of each posts. Timber 
blocks can be nailed onto the beams
at the required distance to keep the
posts level and in position. 
The bottom rail can be packed or 
supported off the finished ground
level.(FGL)

Clamps can be fixed between the 
timber beams and the posts to 
provide more stability. Further bracing 
can be fixed to the top beam to restrict 
any movement during the concrete pour. Allow minimum 200mm of concrete around each post. Refer to the 
engineer

ʼ

s certification for more details with regards to the concrete footing dimensions, soil conditions and wind rating 

allowances.

Place metal rod anchor through the holes at the base of the posts. Check that the posts are level from the front and
the side. The height of one post can be lowered slightly to allow for water to fall inside the gutter to one side.

Take care during the installation of the posts. To avoid any scratches always place cardboard or rubber between the 
surface of the posts and any timber bracing . The posts can be set 100mm either side from the standard set out. 
New holes will need to be drilled for the bearers over the beams to accommodate the fixing points.
