STEP 4: Install Brackets, Rails and Post Mount

  1. Install Cross Brace Brackets.
    Set Cross Brace Brackets on MTs by sliding them onto the tubing. Single Cross Braces require 1 Cross Brace Bracket (1A). Double Cross Braces (with both North-South AND East-West) require 2 Cross Brace Brackets (1B).
  2. Install Post Mounts.
    Set Post Mounts on all Mechanical Tubing (2A). Do not fasten the Post Mounts (2B).
  3. Install Rails onto the South row.
    To install Rails, partially fasten (3A) the bracket clamps on the south row of Post Mounts. Use a String Line to align the Rails (3B), Then fully secure the south row of Bracket Clamps (3C) using an Impact Driver.
  4. Install Rails onto the North row.
    Raise the Rails (4A) onto the remaining rows of Bracket Clamps, adjusting the Post Mount heights as needed to achieve the slope specified in the project plan set. Fully fasten all Bracket Clamp (4B) and Post Mount fasteners (4C).
