This Post Kit provides Over-the-Post style rail mount. Mounted on top of the undersized, 1-7/8" post, there is an Over-the-Post Top Rail Bracket that allows a 36" rail sections to be mounted on one side creating a rail run termination. The post has a mounting flange that is welded to the bottom which allows for surface mount onto the deck, porch, patio, etc. The mounting flange is pre-drilled in the four corners for 3/8" fasteners. The Post Kit also includes a base trim that will slide down the post once mounted to hide the fasteners and an ACQ pad to fit under the mounting flange if mounting onto treated wood. NOTE: The fasteners for mounting this post are not included.
