How to install aluminum fence posts to concrete or other above ground
application.
(retaining walls, decks, etc)
 To
Properly install Jerith* deck mounts, these steps must be followed. Failure to do so
may result in improper seating of the casting and loosening of the post.
- Cut the post to the proper height, if necessary.
- Place the post over the deck mount.
- Tighten the bolt at the base of the casting until it is snug.
- Tap the base of the casting firmly on a hard surface.
This will allow the two pieces of the casting to seat better.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 twice.
- Now tighten the bolt for the last time. This should hold
the post securely.
- Attach the deck mount and post assembly onto the deck using
the appropriate lag bolts.
For the most stable installation, add knee-braces to connect
the middle of the post to the deck itself. Knee braces are modified pickets that are
available from Hoover Fence Co.
* Please note: The drawings and picture on this page
are specific to Jerith. We also carry aluminum fence from other manufacturer's and
the deck-mounts may vary. |
