- Using a small hammer gently tap the anchors into the holes.
- Place base over the anchors. Put washer onto lag screw. Start lag screw through base hole into anchor. Use ¾″ wrench to tighten lag screw snug into base.
- Insert your sign post to the base and secure the post by tightening the two bolts on the side of the base using the ½″ socket.
Option 2 – Asphalt Anchors
Tools required:
