Post 3: Crimped Post
Offset Post 3 up to 2” (up to 50mm) back from
the string line to allow sufficient space for the
slider bracket assembly.
Post 3 is identified by the post having a crimp
and slots instead of holes. These slots are used
to bolt the guardrail on a later step. In addition,
Post 3 can be easily identified by having yellow
paint near the bottom.
6. Post 2: Post 2 Assembly with Soil Plate
Soil Plate should be on the trailing / back side of
the system.
Post 2 includes a blockout, and should be aligned
with Posts 4-6.
Depending on your post driver equipment, it may
be necessary to partially drive Post 2 prior to
attaching the Soil Plate. Begin to drive Post 2
approximately 18” (450mm), more if necessary.
If the post is driven more than 18” (450mm)
it will be necessary to use a pick ax or other
digging tool to remove some of the soil in order
to install the soil plate.
Once the soil plate is installed, continue driving
the post to the desired height.
