ABSTRACT:
A system and method which positions and orients a wall post or column during positioning and supports the post after it has been positioned. The system embodying the principles of the present invention is set and contacts surfaces of the post. The system includes two monolithic one-piece anchor blocks located on a level surface to have top faces thereof located co-level with each other and tie and cross rods each of which has a surface that is vertically oriented when in use and which abuttingly engages a corresponding surface of the post when in use. At least one tie rod is connected to the anchor block top faces and the cross rod is attached to the tie rod. The tie rod is located at a desired position relative to a reference plane and the cross rod is located at a desired location relative to a reference location. The post is located between the two anchor blocks and in abutting contact with the vertically oriented surfaces of the rods. A second tie rod can be mounted on the anchor blocks prior to the connection of the first cross rod to the tie rods. The system automatically locates the post in a desired location and automatically levels the column or post so no additional adjustments are required. The system weight, including the weight of the anchor blocks, prevents shifting or movement of the post during set up.
