FAQs
Can I use this kit for elevated decks?
This kit is specifically designed for ground-level installations with a 1150mm post height.
Is the post cap included in the box?
Yes, the kit includes the post cap, the 1150mm Newel post, and the bolt-down post support.
Does the kit come with fixing bolts for the deck?
While it includes the post support, you should ensure you have the correct length and type of anchor bolts for your specific deck joist material.
Can I paint these composite components?
Composite materials are designed to retain their color and do not typically require painting; doing so may void the material integrity.
Is this compatible with other Ecoscape products?
Yes, this kit is designed to integrate with the standard Ecoscape composite balustrade range.
Troubleshooting
Post feels unstable after installation
Verify that the bolt-down support fixings are tightened securely to the deck sub-structure.
Post is not perfectly vertical (plumb)
Use shims under the base of the bolt-down support to compensate for slight variations in the deck surface level.
Difficulty sliding the post onto the support
Check the interior of the post for any composite burrs or debris and ensure the support is aligned straight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your decking surface is level and the underlying joists are positioned to support the bolt-down plate. 1. Mark your post positions carefully. 2. Secure the bolt-down support to the decking using appropriate heavy-duty fixings. 3. Slide the 1150mm Newel post onto the support and ensure it is plumb. 4. Attach the post cap for a finished look. For care, periodically clean the composite surface with mild soapy water and a soft brush to prevent the buildup of debris or moss. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could alter the grey finish.
