Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your build, verify that your lumber is true to the 5.5x5.5 inch dimension, as nominal 6x6 lumber may vary slightly by supplier. To install, mark your anchor points on the base, secure the post base supports with appropriate heavy-duty concrete anchors, and then slide your lumber into the brackets. Use high-quality exterior-grade screws to secure the beams through the provided holes. To maintain the structural integrity and appearance, periodically inspect the bolts for tightness after the first season and check for any scratches in the powder coating; if any are found, touch them up with rust-inhibiting outdoor paint to prevent moisture ingress.
