Trex RainEscape® Installation Guide

14. SURFACE MOUNT POST TO SOLID BEAM OR FLAT BLOCKING

15. CANTILEVERED DOWNSPOUT » Tear off the cut-out on the front panel of the downspout. » On the back side of the downspout draw a line from corner to corner extending down 1". Cut the downspout following the line. (Some downspouts may have this line pre-indicated). » Staple the trough material from the end of the cantilever over the existing trough. Repeat all the steps as necessary for trough installation. » Tape over all joists and seams.

» When using surface mount post, pre-drill holes then use a small amount of butyl caulk on screw threads to seal holes. » DO NOT use too much butyl caulk or it will overflow on deck and post mount.

NOTE: Please refer to Trex.com for detailed post mount instructions.
