BEFORE STARTING
• Review all local building codes.
• Wear proper safety equipment.
STEP 1 GETTING STARTED
• Plumb all posts or mounting surfaces. Do not install post trim at this time.
Post trim should be installed at completion of railing installation.
• Determine required bottom rail height from deck surface to bottom of rail
based on local building codes.
STEP 2 INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKETS
• Insert brackets into template per desired rail height – middle bracket hole location for
36” high railing, top bracket hole location for 42˝ high railing.
STEP 3 CUT RAILS & INSTALL BOTTOM RAIL
• Measure distance between inside mounting brackets.
• Mark bottom rail to correct length.
• Ensure there is equal & maximum distance from baluster holes on both
ends of top and bottom rails.
• Add 3/4" to bracket mark. Repeat for all top and bottom rail bracket marks.
• Cut bottom rail, top sub rail, and top cap rail the same length, ensuring baluster
holes line up.
• Slide bottom bracket cover onto both sides of the rail and set rail into place. Secure
rail by installing two #8 x 3/4" self-drilling screws through holes in both sides of
each bracket. Snap bracket cover over the bracket.
STEP 4 INSERT BALUSTERS
• Insert balusters into bottom rail making sure they are fully seated into rail.
• Make sure that the “P” insert remains within the bottom rail channel.
STEP 5 INSTALL TOP RAIL & PANELS
• Holding the sub rail at an angle above the baluster, start at one end to insert rst
baluster and tap lightly.
• Insert remaining balusters making sure they are seated completely in both
bottom and sub rails.
• Slide top bracket cover onto both sides of top rail. Place top cap rail over sub-rail.
• Secure rail by installing two #8 x 3/4” self drilling screws through holes in both
sides of each bracket. Snap bracket cover over the bracket.
STEP 6 FINISHING STEPS
• Tap post caps in place.
• Install two-piece, snap together trim.
• Measure to the underside of the bottom rail and cut rail support to measured length.
• Measure to the center of the bottom rail and secure rail support with 3/4” stainless
steel screw.
