How to mount an aluminum gate post on concrete path that is not level?

I am installing an aluminum slate gate and the posts will be mounted on the concrete path that is not level. The 50mm x 50mm post has a base plate which is to be bolted onto the concrete. How do I bolt the base plate on to ensure that it is level? Also, what anchor bolts would you recommend?

 

Thanks.

Re: Mounting an aluminum gate post on concrete path that is not level

Hello @akoong 

 

I propose using Dynabolts to anchor your post to the concrete base. To balance and level your post, I suggest using galvanized washers. Make sure to use a spirit level on all sides to make sure your post is square.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
