Installation

---

To use the bracket, first mark a level line on the house where the bottom of the deck will be, position the bottom of the bracket to this line and make a mark through the top hole of the bracket.

 The end brackets should be 4" to 6" in from the outside of the deck and the other brackets should be spaced 12" to 16" on center, or between each joist.

 Now drill a 5/16" pilot hole into the siding at these marks to accommodate a 1/2" diameter bolt, dab a little caulking into the holes and bolt the brackets firmly to the house.

 It's that simple. After the framework has been set, leveled and squared, add a second bolt through the lower hole of the bracket and into the ledger board.

Always check with your local Building Department for approval of the "Stratton Bracket"
