What happens here
Once the hole is drilled, place the galvanized metal post base connector directly over the hole in the concrete pier. Ensure that the bolt hole in the post base aligns perfectly with the drilled hole in the concrete. Then, take a concrete anchor bolt and insert it through the post base's hole. Use an impact driver fitted with the correct size socket wrench attachment to drive the anchor bolt firmly into the concrete. Tighten the bolt until the post base is securely fastened to the concrete pier, ensuring there is no movement.
Goal: Attach the metal post base firmly to the concrete pier
