ANCHORING FASTENERS FOR AUSTRALIA
WARNING Engineering design has determined appropriate fasteners for the
attachment of the post base, wall bracket, and base rail support to concrete
or timber structures designed by others. While the types of material are
defined in the table below, the ability of the supporting structure to provide
adequate support to Peak® Aluminium Balustrade system and its fasteners must
be independently verified for each installation. To meet certain balustrade
load requirements within AS/NZS 1170.1:2002, use the fasteners specified in
the tables below. Building codes may vary. Always understand and comply with
your local building codes.

GLASS PANEL INSTALLATION
This symbol indicates important information.
Always use two people to handle glass panels. Always lift a glass panel by its
sides. Toughened glass is extremely fragile do not bump the edges. Always
use protective gear including eyewear and gloves when handling glass panels.
1 Measure and mark the position of all posts and space equally.
Maximum post spacing 1.80 m for 2.5 kPa design wind pressure (1.20 m for 4.02
kPa design wind pressure). For details visit: https://peakproducts.com/en-au

Put the first post in position. For timber attachment, secure post to deck
using four M10 coach screws (refer to page 3 for required length) through each
corner of the post base. Ensure that the post is plumb.
To prevent splitting of deck boards, drill four 10 mm holes through deck
boards (but not into deck structure). To prevent timber rot, coat fastener
screw threads with non-corrosive exterior silicon caulking. For concrete
attachment, refer to page 3 for anchoring fastener recommendations.
