NOTE: Construction methods are always improving. Please refer to www.trex.com for the most up-to-date installation requirements.

» Rim joist removed to show proper attachment of
hardware.
» Metal backplate is only required for 2.5" (64 mm)
post in IRC installations. (Consult local code offi cial for
more information.)
5.
Insert (2) stainless
steel barrier strips
under mounting
bolt holes. Use
composite shims or
similar material (not
provided) if posts are
not plumb. Ensure
that post is placed on
decking surface so it
clears rim joist and
there is enough clearance on underside blocking
for back plate to be installed. Attach posts using
four 3/8" x 6" (10 mm x 152 mm) hex cap bolts,
washers, and nuts, along with using aluminum
back plate on underside of blocking (back plate
only required for 2.5" [64 mm] posts). Back plate
MUST be installed under decking to ensure this will
meet code compliance. Reference Trex SKU part
number ALPOSTHWDECK for required hardware and
aluminum plate.

1. Using post as a template, mark locations of the four
holes and drill into concrete at least 2-5/8" (67 mm)
using a 3/8" (10 mm) masonry bit.
NOTE: You can either set drill bit to correct depth on
drill or mark drill bit with tape at required dimension to
ensure all holes are drilled at correct depth.
2. Clean out holes to remove all concrete dust using a
shop vacuum or other appropriate tool.
3. Insert (2) stainless steel barrier stripes under
mounting bolt holes. Use appropriate shims if
posts are not plumb. Attach posts using four
TREX SUPPLIED 3/8" x 3-3/4" (10 mm x 95 mm)
wedge anchors. Reference SKU part number
ALPOSTHWCONC for required hardware (wedge
anchors, washers, and nuts).
NOTES:
»
When using hammer to tap anchors in place, keep
threaded nut at top of anchor in order to not damage
threads.
» Recommended torque for anchors is 20 ft-lbs.
