Please read the Engineering Reports for guidance and suitability of your intended use. Before using this product, engage a local engineer or inspector to review our engineering reports to determine suitability for your application. Building codes can vary and our reports may not apply in your area. This product is for private residential use only. It is not for commercial, industrial or apartment building applications. It is not intended to be used as a stand-alone post or built in a railing where it is acting as a stand-alone post. Post braces are available. |
| Composite Decking | Pre-drill screw holes before driving screws into composite decking. Composite and synthetic boards are very dense and if holes are not pre-drilled you may snap off the head of the screw. Also pre-drilling holes on wood or composite deck boards anytime a screw will be driven very close to the edge of a board. This will prevent the board from splitting. |
| Recommended Wood Species | For best performance and ease of installation use with species ranging from cedar, spruce, redwood, pine, hem-fir with moisture content (m.c.) of 12%-20%. To comply with residential engineering guidelines, do not use any species with specific gravity (density) less than the lowest of the above recommended species (SPF). |
| Other Species | Douglas fir – ensure cutting edge of tube is sharp and m.c. not less than 12%. Otherwise, install as if hardwood. |
Hardwoods | Requires hole saw and Forstner bit installation technique as tube can not be impaled into wood easily. |
| Pre-Drilling | For best performance it is recommended to pre-drill lag screw holes. |
| Concrete Surfaces | Use minimum of 4 GRK Caliburn or Tapcon 1/4″ screws at least 2-1/4″ long. Sold separately. |
