STANDARD

4. Measure distance between posts (X), and subtract

1/2" for bracket clearance.

If installing crossover post conﬁgurations adjust top

rail length

X + 3/4" if using one crossover post, or

X + 1-1/2" if using two crossover posts.

If using swivel brackets, measure distance between

brackets and cut railings to this distance.

Cutting Railings and Covers

5. Cut both bottom and top rail to length as determined

above.

6. Mark and cut bottom rail cover 1-1/2"

(3.8 cm) shorter than bottom rail.

7. Mark and cut top rail cover same length as top rail

for all top rail conﬁgurations.

Locating Vertical Holes on Bottom and Top Rails

8. Place HZ template at end of top and bottom rails.

Pre-drill pilot holes (using a 7/64" bit or small punch)

at locations.

NOTES:

» Template is labeled for the type of bracket used.

» Pilot holes will be drilled out larger in a later step.

» For Compound Swivel Brackets, set the rail in the

bracket and mark 3.75" from the post.

6' Rail Spans or Shorter

9a. Measure the distance between the vertical end holes

on both top and bottom rails. Mark the center.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT mark the line across the

entire width of the bottom rail, as it will be visible after

install. Maximum recommended line width is 1".
