** Required ONLY for All Clear Span Applications over 6' (1.83 m)
when smaller fixed baluster is fully centered, or unsupported
spans greater than 5' (1.52 m) (example: 8' (2.44 m) span cut into
one 5' (1.52 m) span and one 3' (0.91 m) span would require foot
block under 5' (1.52 m) span since smaller fixed baluster is no
longer centered). Included with 8' (2.44 m) railing kits.
*** Both 4" x 4" (10.2 cm x 10.2 cm) and 6" x 6" (15.2 cm x 15.2 cm)
post sleeves are designed to fit over 4" x 4" pressure-treated post.
NOTE: If installing 42" (106.7 cm) railing, and using pressure-treated posts
with Trex post sleeves, ensure that a longer pressure-treated post is used
along with longer post sleeve, both cut to a height of 46" (116.8 cm)
from decking surface.
