Tips & FAQs:
Yes. If your concrete patio doesn’t already have rails built in, we recommend using Patriot Post Mount.
Installation is basically the same as installing it into a normal wood deck, except that you will be drilling into concrete – https://www.colorguardrailing.com/patriot-post-mount-installation/.
For this, you will need a masonry drill bit.
A post is a structural element of the deck, usually made from pressure treated wood or metal. It could also be a post mounting system like Patriot Post Mount.
A post sleeve is a vinyl or aluminum covering that slips over the post to give it a certain look. It is purely for aesthetics and has no structural qualities.
Our Vinyl and Lincoln products have been certified. The documentation can be located at: https://www.colorguardrailing.com/resources/
The Patriot Post Mount can be installed into wood, concrete or composite surfaces. That said, we do not suggest securing the Patriot to deck boards alone. We recommend using a pair of 2x8s on their side attached to the deck framework as blocking so that the post is being secured to something more structurally sound that just the deck board
We also do have the SPB Kit/Underdeck Anchoring Plate available for added stability. You can find that here.
The Patriot Post Mount can be leveled up to 11 degrees in any direction. To do this, secure the post with the fastening screws, but don’t tighten all the way yet because the post still needs to be leveled.
Next, adjust the leveling screws until it is in the desired position. Once level, secure the four fasteners.
We have an installation video on this page that will walk you through the process – https://www.colorguardrailing.com/patriot-post-mount-installation/
You use the same filler for both the 36- and 44-inch sleeves.
Using the pre-drilled holes, attach the fillers. For a 36-inch post sleeve, attach the fillers in the downward direction.
To install a 44-inch Sleeve, simply attach the fillers in the upward direction.
