Abstract
A mounting assembly that is used to attach an alternate material railing system to an underlying flat surface. The mounting assembly attaches to the underlying flat surface so that the mounting assembly extends vertically upwardly from the flat surface. A hollow post from the railing system is then placed over the mounting assembly and is attached to the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly therefore acts as an intermediate connector that joins a hollow post to an underlying flat surface. The mounting assembly itself has a base plate and a vertical structure extending upwardly from the base plate. The base plate is attached to the underlying flat surface with a mechanical fastener. The hollow post of the synthetic railing system is placed over the mounting assembly, wherein the vertical structure engages the inside of the hollow post and holds the hollow post in a vertical orientation.
