Installation

Post:

Drill a 3/4"-diameter hole, 10" into the center of the post.
Clean out sawdust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson Strong-Tie® SET-3G™ epoxy anchoring adhesive.
Insert all-thread rod while twisting the rod, and allow the epoxy to set and cure.
Secure standoff to post using four 0.148" x 3" nails.

Concrete:

Drill a 3/4"-diameter hole per anchor design (see table footnote 2).
Clean out dust. Fill hole halfway with Simpson Strong-Tie SET-3G, ET-3G™ or AT-3G™ anchoring adhesive. Insert post subassembly into hole, and allow the epoxy to set and cure.
Post bases do not provide adequate resistance to prevent members from rotating about the base and therefore are not recommended for non-top-supported installations (such as fences or unbraced carports).
