What happens here
After the holes are drilled, the posts are precisely leveled using metal shims inserted between the base plate and the concrete. A level is used on multiple sides of each post to ensure they are perfectly plumb. Once leveled, the anchor bolts are inserted into the drilled holes and tightened down, securing the posts to the concrete. It's crucial that the posts are perfectly level to prevent future issues. The importance of staying away from concrete relief joints is reiterated to avoid damaging the pad when under load.
Goal: The posts are finally leveled using metal shims, and then secured with anchor bolts, ensuring they are perfectly plumb and firmly attached to the concrete slab.
