Step #1 – Measure and Cut Railings

 Measure the distance between your posts and

note the length.

 Use your measurement and mark your top and

bottom rails.

 Use a miter saw to cut your rails to the deter-

mined length.

Step #2 – Determine Baluster Locations

 Lay your top and bottom rail next to each other

and mark the center of your rails.

 Mark the baluster locations 4 1/2” on center

along both railings. This will allow for 3 3/4” spac-

ing between the balusters.

 Apply stain, paint or other finish to the railings

and posts.

Step #3 – Install Baluster Connectors

 Locate the previously made marks on your rail-

ings and begin installing the Pegatha baluster con-

nectors.

 Be sure not to over tighten your baluster con-

nectors which could cause the screw to become

loose over time.

 Double check that your spacing meets local build-

ing codes.

Step #3 – Install Balusters & Rails

 Install your bottom rail between your posts.

 Install each baluster by lightly tapping them into

place. (use a block of wood to support the rail

while tapping balusters into place).

 Install your top railing onto the balusters. Use

pipe clamps if necessary to squeeze the two rails

together.
