INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
FOOTING INFORMATION
!
Total footing depth is 36” plus the height of the surfacing
which is 12” for a total height of 48”. The 36” includes 10”
of blocking material, which in this case is dry concrete. So
overall only 26” of the post assembly is inserted into the
footing hole. See drawing on next page for
footing/surfacing side view.
!
It is the owner/installers responsibility to check local
building codes and to comply with those codes. All footing
depths listed here are recommendations and local soil types
and frost lines may require a deeper and/or wider footing
depth. If that’s the case you must add more blocking
material to accommodate the deeper footing, as the post
length will still only be installed at the depth listed in this
instruction manual.
