What happens here
Begin by positioning a structural screw through a pre-drilled hole in the metal post base and aligning it with the wooden post. Ensure the post is properly seated within the base. Using a cordless impact driver, drive the structural screw into the wooden post until it is fully tightened and the post is firmly secured to the metal bracket. The impact driver provides the necessary torque to drive large fasteners efficiently.
Goal: Firmly attach the wooden post to the metal post base.
