How do I fix a Capital to my Post?

The traditional method was to use a bit of timber dowel, or sometimes the capital would have a turned bit sticking out at the bottom. This would cause the timber to rot more quickly over time.

Double Ended Zinc Screws

A much easier, and more permanent solution is to use these double ended screws.

• Simply drill a 7mm hole in the Capital and in the end of the post.
• With a pair of vice grips, set the double ended screw into the post halfway.
• Apply construction adhesive to the base of the capital.
• Turn the capital onto the other end of the double ended screw.
