Uses 3/8" mounting bolts to attach holder & spacer to deck rail, with additional #8 deck screws for securing the spacers.
Upper mount requires 1x 5/16 bolt and wing nut to adjust clamping.
Update:
-after 1 year in service this has held up very well. It survived regular use in the summer, as well as being outside in a Canadian winter. Still holding strong.
-Added an alternative for the base to remove the 2x4 support.
