Setting the Posts 
7.) As you can see there are notches on top of 
the post, make sure all notches are turned in 
the same direction as the main headers run. 
Attach all the posts to the bracket using (5) 
2 ½” screws per bracket.  

Post Bases
8.) Now you are ready to install the Post Bases. 
Get a ladder and slide the base over the top 
of the post (see picture above). There are (4) 
screws per base, it does not really matter which 
way they are turned, although we recommend 
keeping the screws turned in the same 
direction.  Repeat this step for each post. 

As shown above, you can fasten your template on the top side of the post to keep everything straight and 

sturdy while you are fastening the headers.
