Drill holes using the 3/16" concrete drill bit (V)
provided.
For high-wind areas, use a 1/2" concrete drill
bit (not included) to drill holes a minimum of 5" deep.
Position wood posts (A) so that they are parallel
with each other. Using a string, align the tops of
the posts. This will ensure that when the beams are
attached, they will fit properly against the posts.
Note: The bottom of the posts may not be perfectly
parallel. This is common and will not be visible once
the vinyl columns are in place.
Position wood post over holes and plumb using a
four foot level. If needed, use supplied washers to
plumb posts.
Note:
The vinyl column covers bracket,
this is your last opportunity to secure and plumb the
posts.
