Determine the desired rail placement and snap a line on the deck to ensure all posts are aligned properly (Fig. 1). Ensure sufficient mounting structure exists in areas to receive posts. Install blocking where necessary. Plumb the posts, using the shims provided, and secure all posts in place (Fig. 2).
. 4. 5. Test fit the rail panel. Once a proper fit is ensured all cuts must be painted prior to final installation (Fig. 8). Place a bracket cover over the rail next to the bracket and slide the bracket cover toward the post until it snaps into place (Fig. 10). Assemble the 2 piece post trim cover by inserting one fastener in each trim half (Fig. 11). Snap these in place (Fig. 12) concealing the post flange. Set the panel in place. Pre-drill the screw holes using a 5/32" metal drill bit.
STAIR RAIL INSTRUCTIONS Warning: Always wear safety goggles. 1. 3. Place a plank on the stair noses spanning from post to post. Place the stair panel on the plank across the opening and adjust for plumb ensuring equal baluster spacing at each end. Clamp the panel in place at this location (Fig. 13). Add 7/8" (toward rail end or post) to the marks made on the rail panel in step 2 (Fig. 15) and cut panel at these marks (Fig. 16).
4. 5. 6. Reinsert the painted panel ends into the brackets and secure in place (Fig. 19) using the supplied self-tapping panel attachment screws through the pre-drilled bracket holes. Separate the two bracket halves at all rail ends. Install the post half of each mounting bracket at the marks made in step 3 (Fig. 20) ensuring all brackets are properly oriented. Now set the panel back into place and re-attach the bracket halves (Fig. 21).
LEVEL BRACKET & ANGLES INSTRUCTIONS Warning: Always wear safety goggles. LEVEL BRACKET LEVEL ANGLES 1. 2. Establish the placement of the bottom of the level panel based on your desired rail height. Mark a line on your mounting surface at this height plus 1 1/8" to represent the top of the mounting bracket (Fig. 24). Mark the post 34 1/8" (34 1/8" for 34" high panels or 40 1/8" for 40" high panels) from the bottom bracket attached in Step 1 (Figs. 26 & 27).
