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.
