CUT BOTTOM RAIL COVER AND DECK BOARD
Measure, mark and cut the Bottom Rail Cover (inverted, purchased separately) and
deck board to length (Dia. #1A). For Over-the-Post applications, cut deck boards
so that any seams fall at the center of a post (boards up to 16'). Miter the planks at
corner posts.
For Between-the-Post applications if the deck board is wider than posts, if desired,
trim deck board corners for a clean finish (Dia. #1B). If using 3 ½" wide boards, there is
no need to trim corners for composite post applications. Place the Bottom Rail Cover
on the top support rail between the post sleeves.

spread equally over the length of the panel.
• 8' panels require 6 clips, attached within the first baluster on each end and then
spread equally over the length of the panel.
