What happens here

Begin by using a cordless drill equipped with a large hole saw to cut a circular opening through the roof material. The hole needs to be wide enough to accommodate the base of the post mount system. Ensure you cut through all layers of the roof, including any insulation and the underlying decking, until the roof framing or structural support is exposed.

Goal: Create an opening for the post mount base
