If attaching to an existing floor, deck, concrete slab, or patio, please be sure that the posts will rest on an adequate base to support the weight of the structure. We make it easy to determine the location of the posts and to attach them to the base with our post template and custom brackets. These are supplied when a structure is ordered without a deck. Please be sure to discuss your particular details with your Project Adviser, before pouring any concrete or building your deck, if at all possible.

Photo 1: The wooden template is laid out at the structure's proposed location. Simply match up the numbers on the template, then measure from corner to corner across the template to ensure that it's square. This is the same process for any structure shape. Marking the locations of the holes in the template will provide the locations of the posts.

Photo 2 & 3: Simply attach our custom bracket, either with lag bolts into wood or concrete anchors, and bolts into concrete (connectors not shown as each connection will be different).

Photo 4: The post will fit inside the brackets and be attached with the supplied screws. The unique design of the brackets allows for a finish trim to be added to hide the brackets.
