What tools are needed for installation?

You will typically need a drill, level, measuring tape, screws, and potentially a post hole digger depending on your decking construction.

Can I cut the deck post to a different height?

What is the post made of?

The product description doesn't specify the material. Check the product details at the point of purchase.
