BEAM OR FLAT BLOCKING
»
When using surface mount post, pre-drill holes then
use a small amount of butyl caulk on screw threads
to seal holes.

DO NOT use too much butyl caulk or it will overflow
on deck and post mount.
NOTE:
Please refer to Trex.com for detailed post
mount instructions.
»
Insert the (2) stainless steel barrier strips
under the mounting bolt holes. Barrier strips
are required only if attaching post directly to
pressure treated framing.

Attach posts using four 3/8" x 6" (1 cm x 15.2
cm) hex cap bolts, washers, and nuts, along with
aluminum back plate on underside of blocking.
