Footings
There are two common types of array footing,
Set
and
Fastened
.
Set Footing
A Set Footing is the most common method for installing the Post Base. It involves setting the large
square base into the concrete footing.
Prepare a posthole min 600mm wide (A), to a depth (B) of 600
–
800mm
(double the width
measurements for soft sandy ground)
and pre pour a thick layer of concrete into the bottom of the hole,
and place the post base onto this.
Ensure post is straight and level before continuing the concrete.
To avoid water sitting around the post base, finish with a tapered water shed (D).
Allow concrete to set.
Once the concrete is set, attach post top to post base with 4 bolts/nuts/washers provided.
