USING A BRACKET OR ROOF MOUNT

1.) Using mount as a template, position mount in desired location and drill mounting holes.  Use a good quality silicone caulk between mount and building.   Temporarily insert post in mount and utilize to properly plumb.  Use enclosed screws or better and securely fasten to building.

2.) Using a sharp hacksaw and a vice, trim post so that it extends no more than 16" above mount (not including spindle). Slide post into mount and secure screws. Caulk where post enters mount.

3.) Refer to assembly instructions to complete installation.
