NOTES:
» TREX® SIGNATURE™ RAILINGS ARE DESIGNED TO BE ATTACHED WITH POSTS INSTALLED AT A CLEAR SPAN OF 6' (1.83 M) OR 8' (2.44 M).
» IF INSTALLING AT EXACT SPAN LENGTHS OF 6' (1.83 M) OR 8' (2.44 M), AND USING POST-TO-POST CONFIGURATION, THE BOTTOM RAIL WILL
NOT NEED TO BE CUT, BUT THE TOP RAIL WILL NEED TO BE MEASURED AND CUT.
» IF INSTALLING AT EXACT SPAN LENGTHS OF 6' (1.83 M) OR 8' (2.44 M), AND USING CROSSOVER POST CONFIGURATION (SPANS FROM ONE
CROSSOVER POST TO ANOTHER CROSSOVER POST), BOTH THE BOTTOM RAIL AND TOP RAIL WILL NOT NEED TO BE CUT.
» IN ADDITION, AT ALL FINAL END POST CONFIGURATIONS, TOP RAIL WILL NEED TO BE MEASURED AND CUT.

* Covers are slightly longer to accommodate crossover
post applications.
** Item not included in Trex® Signature™ Panel kits. Both
4" x 4" (102 mm x 102 mm) and 6" x 6" (152 mm x
152 mm) post sleeves are designed to fit over 4" x 4"
pressure-treated post.
*** Required ONLY for all clear span applications over 6'
(1.83 m) when fixed baluster is centered or unsupported
spans greater than 5' (1.52 m). For example, if an 8' (2.44
m) panel is cut into a 5-1/2' (1.68 m) section, it would
require a foot block due to the off-center placement of
the fixed baluster.
NOTE: If installing 42" (1067 mm) 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" (1168 mm) from decking surface.
PARTS TOOLS NEEDED
NOTES:
» Assembled Trex® Signature™ Panels DO NOT
come with foot blocks. You must purchase
foot blocks separately. SKU – BKALFTBLK
(one per panel required on spans greater than
6', see note below***).
» Assembled Trex® Signature™ Panels DO
NOT come with brackets and screws. You
must purchase the horizontal rail hardware
separately. SKU – XXHZBTMBRKTPNL
(one per panel). Older horizontal rail hardware
SKU BKFHBKTAL will also work when
installing panel rails. See detailed instructions.
