What happens here

Once the helical piers are installed to the correct depth, use an angle grinder to cut the exposed sections of the piers to a uniform and level height. After cutting, attach the appropriate post base brackets to the top of each pier. A 'Jorgensen E-HOLD' clamp is shown holding a small piece of wood, likely used as a guide or temporary support during the cutting or bracket installation process. These brackets will serve as attachment points for the deck's main beams.

Goal: Prepare helical piers to receive deck framing elements.
