Push the post in to the gutter section below the hole. Please see diagram below
Note:
1. You must ensure the bottom of the hole has at least 100mm of dry mix concrete under the
post to prevent subsidence of the post, and that is compacted hard.
2. Ensure as you fill the 300 x 300 x 600 foundation, that you fill the centre of the post level to
the bottom of the 40mm hole to prevent rainwater going into the bottom of the post.
3. We recommend that when installing above ground outlets, you perform this procedure on
every post to minimise puddles.
Disclaimer: We cannot be held liable for puddles of excess rainwater around the column base.
