Drill First Anchor Hole

What happens here

Begin by selecting the location for your post base on the concrete foundation wall. Using a hammer drill fitted with an appropriate masonry drill bit (sized for your anchor bolts), drill the first pilot hole into the concrete. The depth of the hole should match the length of your chosen anchor bolt. After drilling, clean out any dust or debris from the hole to ensure proper anchor seating.

Goal: Create the initial mounting point for the post base
