 HOLLOW POST
Wood Floor or Concrete Installation
(Raised Panel 5"x 5" hollow post is only post made for this type of
application)
Raise roof enough to remove old supports
(1/16"-1/8")
Use treated 4x4 wood post inside hollow
post to carry weight load
Position top and bottom plate onto post
Slide post into position
Rotate post to reveal holes in post plates
Install bottom plate using (4) #10 x 1-1/2" wood screws (included) for
wood floor or (4) #10 x 1- 1/2" Tapcon™ screws (included) for
concrete floor
Install the Top Plate using (4) #10 x 1-1/2" wood screws (included)
After installation of
Plates, rotate Porch Post back into proper position (no need to screw post to plates
unless uplift support is needed - see Page 3 )
At this time the old
posts or supports that were supporting your roof can be removed placing all the weight on
your new vinyl porch posts |
