NOTE:
You’ll find a second pair of hands (to hold parts as the
unit goes up) to be very helpful in erecting your system.
Other Materials Required:
You will also need 4” x 4” wooden posts for added strength
inside aluminum columns. Pre-selection of pressure-treated
wood is very important. Any warped or oversized lumber will
not fit inside the aluminum columns. If sinking posts into the
ground, treated lumber is required.
If mounting on a deck, patio, the surface must be connected to
solid anchor points. If not, the posts must be sunk inot the
ground. If you wish to cement the posts 3’ into the ground, 12’
posts are needed. The aluminum framework should be
completely assembled before cement is poured into the holes.
If you are sinking posts into the ground, the
Column Bases
are
optional. If you prefer to use the
Column Bases
, they should be
assembled onto the
wood posts
before erecting the system.
