Instructions: Low Profile Post System
Figure A
1. IDENTIFY HARDWARE
Identify the proper hardware for installing the Low Profile
Post System into your specific ceiling and floor materials
(not included). For drywall, VintageView recommends
installing to joists or wood backing when available.
2. MEASURE HEIGHT FOR FIRST POST
Measure the ceiling height of the location of the first Post.
Subtract ½” (13mm) from the measurement.
3. MEASURE & MARK FIRST POST
Lay each end of the Post on the ground and overlap so
that the measurement from the top to the bottom equals
your measurement from Step 2 (Figure A).
Use a Pencil or a Marker to mark the cut line. Do not
mark or cut the end with the c-Channel.
** If the ceiling height is greater than 120” (3098mm),
up to 122” (3099mm), the Mounting Base inserted into
the Post Top can telescope up 2” (51mm) **
4. CUT TO FIT
Using a Metal Cutting Saw, cut the Post at the Mark (Fig-
ure B). Use a Metal File to smooth the surface of the cut.
** Do not use Abrasive Saws as they may damage the
finish **
5. INSERT THE MOUNTING BASES
Insert (1) Mounting Base fully into the open end of the
Post Bottom with c-Channel. Secure the Base using (2)
Self-Drilling Screws (Figure C).
Insert (1) Mounting Base into an open end of a post
top (Figure D). Do not secure with Screws until step
10 to allow for height variations.
