Install Cable Railing Posts on Concrete Wall
At 2:05 in
Paver Patio [EPIC DESIGN] - Vlog 7
What happens here
The worker begins by using a measuring tape and a pencil to mark the exact locations for the cable railing posts on the concrete retaining wall. He marks points 3 inches from the edge of the wall to ensure proper alignment. Once marked, a hammer drill is used to create holes in the concrete, ensuring they are deep enough for the anchor bolts. The black powder-coated aluminum posts are then placed over these holes and secured using specialized concrete screws (Tapcons) and an impact driver. Each post's base plate is welded and has four pre-drilled holes for anchoring. A level is used to ensure each post is perfectly vertical.
Goal: Securely install vertical posts for the cable railing system.
