BEFORE STARTING

• Review all local building codes.

• Wear proper safety equipment.

STEP 1 GETTING STARTED

• Plumb all posts or mounting surfaces, install optional post trim at this time.

• Determine required bottom rail height from deck surface to bottom of rail

based on local building codes.

STEP 2 INSTALL BOTTOM RAIL MOUNTING SCREW

• Find center of post/mounting surface. Mark center line on surface. Determine distance

from nished deck to bottom of rail. Add 3/8" and mark. Drill 3/16" hole on center of

center line. Install #14 x 1" screw to within 1/8" of mounting surface. Check screw head

clearance using a bottom bracket and adjust clearance between screw head and

post/mounting surface to obtain a snap fit.

STEP 3 CUT RAILS

• Measure distance between posts.

• Mark bottom rail to correct length.

• Ensure there is equal and maximum distance from baluster holes on both

ends of top and bottom rails. Cut bottom rail with insert inside to length. Cut top rail the

same, ensuring baluster holes line up.

NOTE: The top aluminum insert should be cut 1/4” shorter than the top rail. The bottom

aluminum insert should be inserted into the bottom rail with DEEP SIDE of channel facing

the routed side of rail.

STEP 4 INSTALL RAIL MOUNTING BRACKETS & RAIL SUPPORT

• Place bottom rail bracket on underside of bottom rail, aluminum insert with post

mounting ange up. Make certain post ange is ush with the end of the bottom

rail and mark the elongated slot. Install one each #10 x 3/4" mounting screw for each

bracket. Adjust bracket if necessary.

• With baluster pockets facing up, slide top rail brackets with mounting anges pointing

down on end of top aluminum insert. On elongated slot, nd center & install one

#10 x 3/4" screw. Adjust bracket if necessary and install second screw.

• Find center of rail and install rail support with one #10 x 3/4” screw.

NOTE: TWO RAIL SUPPORTS ARE REQUIRED FOR 10’ KITS

STEP 5 INSTALL RAIL SECTION

• Snap bottom rail onto bottom rail mounting screws between posts.

• Insert balusters into bottom rail.

• With bottom rails in place, set sub-rail in place and starting from one end, work

the balusters into sub-rail

• Pre-drill two 1/8"holes through top mounting brackets holes into post/mounting

surface and install #10 x 1-1/4" screws in both ends of rail.

STEP 6 FINISHING STEPS

• Carefully snap top rail cap over top aluminum insert. Ensure that cap is seated entirely.

• With rail mounted in place, measure and mark post sleeves to desired height.

• Cut post to desired height with a saw and clean edge of cut.

• Apply a small bead of silicone to the inside of edge of post cap and install on top of

post sleeve (let set 12 hours for adhesive to cure).

LEVEL INSTALLATION

STEP 5

Fairway Architectural Railing Solutions will not be held liable for incorrect or unsafe installations by the installer. It is the installer’s responsibility to secure

proper building permits, review local codes and safety needs and meet or exceed them. The instructions provided by Fairway are a guide and may not

account for every special circumstance. The installer must indentify and execute the installation approach that is appropriate for every application.

Top Rail Bottom Rail

BEFORE STARTING

• Review all local building codes.

• Wear proper safety equipment.

STEP 1 GETTING STARTED

• Plumb all posts or mounting surfaces, install optional post

trim at this time.

• Determine required bottom rail height from deck surface

to bottom of rail based on local building codes.

STEP 2 CUT RAILS & BALUSTERS

• Lay bottom rail against post resting on stair and deck nosing.

Balance out spacing between post and closest baluster with

equal and maximum distance. Mark rails where it intersects with

posts (Top & Bottom)

• If posts are plumb, top rail will be the same length. Top

aluminum insert will be 1/4” shorter than top rail (to allow for

mounting brackets). Cut rails with a saw. You may cut both pvc

and aluminum at the same time.

• Determine angle of stairs and cut one end of each baluster to

same angle. Make note to check baluster length with desired rail

height .

STEP 3

INSTALL BRACKETS

BALUSTERS & RAIL

• Bottom Rail Brackets: Place bottom rail bracket on bottom of

aluminum insert with post mounting ange pointing up. Make

certain post ange is ush with the end of the bottom sub-rail

and mark the elongated slot. Drill a 1/8 hole in the center of

elongated slot and install a #10 x 3/4" mounting screw.

•Top Rail Brackets: Top Rail Brackets with mounting anges

pointing down on end of top sub-rail. Find center of elongated

slot and drill a 1/8 pilot hole. Install two

#10 x 3/4” screws. Adjust bracket angles if necessary.

• Using pre-routed holes on bottom pvc rail, align and attach

balusters on angle cut end. Attach with provided screws. Slide

sub-rail into bottom rail with bracket anges facing down.

• Find center of post/mounting surface. Mark center line on

surface. Determine distance from nished deck to bottom of

rail. Add 3/8” and mark. Drill 3/16” hole on center of center

line. Install #14 x 1” screw to within 1/8” of mounting surface.

Check screw head clearance using a bottom bracket and adjust

clearance between screw head and post/mounting surface to

obtain a snap fit.

• Install bottom rail with installed balusters onto mounting screws.

• Set top sub-rail between posts and insert balusters.

TIP: Start at the bottom of stair run and work up.

• With all balusters inserted, center top rail brackets on post and

install 2 each #10 X 1 ¼” screws

• With all mounting screws installed, carefully snap top rail cover

over aluminum insert.

STEP 4 FINISHING STEPS

• With rail mounted in place, measure and mark post sleeves to

desired height.

• Cut post to desired height with a saw and clean edge of cut.

• Apply a small bead of silicone to the inside edge of post cap

and install on top of post sleeve (let set 12 hours for adhesive to

cure).
