INSTALLATION TIPS To install the Bracket, simply drill a pilot hole into
the siding, dab a little caulking into the hold, and using
a 1/2" diameter lag or bolt placed through the top
hole of the Bracket, fasten it securely to the house.
It's just that easy. Now, if conditions allow, build the
framework on the ground and then set it into the
Brackets. For large decks, build the frame in
sections and then set them in place. Once the
framework has been leveled and squared, secure it by
placing a second bolt through the lower hole of the
Bracket and into the Ledger Board.

The "Stratton Bracket®" was specifically designed to comply with the national building code. Contact your local building department for approval of recommended spacings.
