TRANSCEND RAILING
Measuring and Cutting Rails
4. Measure from corner-to-corner between posts. Mark
45° cuts on rails with template on assembly tool.
Center of “V’s" is the distance from corner-to-corner
for posts.
NOTE: Subtract 1/16" (1.6 mm) from each end to
accommodate rail gaskets.
Attaching Top and
Bottom RSBs
5. Attach RSBs with
adapters to posts
with wood screws
(provided).
NOTES:
» Drill at slight inward angle
to drill holes on marks.
» Lay cut lower rail into
position on decking
surface between the posts before attaching the lower
RSB. There may be some difficulty attaching the lower
rail if you fail to do this.
Installing Railings to
RSB's
6. Attach with self-tapping
screws (provided).
Using Miter Box Saw to Cut Rails
1. Place 2" x 4" (51 mm
x 102 mm) on edge
behind the rail to allow
for complete cut.
2. Angle blade to 45°.
3. Set stop on saw so
blade travels half the
depth of rails. Several
test cuts can be made
on scrap material to
accurately set the stop.
4. “V" cut both sides of the rail.
NOTE: Transcend's Crown and Universal Rails will
require different stop settings.
