Over 6’ Rail Spans
9b. Measure the distance between the vertical end holes
on both top and bottom rails. Divide the distance
into thirds and make two marks on top and bottom
rails.
NOTE: Maximum unsupported rod span is 32.25".
Locating and Drilling Midspan Holes
10. Using the slot on the HZ template, locate marked line
and drill two 7/64" pilot holes (or mark with a punch).
NOTE: Pilot holes will be drilled out larger in next step.
11. Using pilot holes
(or marks), drill 1/4"
holes for all vertical
supports in both top
and bottom rails.
NOTE: Clean any burrs
from edges of holes to
ensure good fit on both
sides.
Cutting Rods to Length (When Required)
12. Measure the distance between the end (outer) holes
(X") on top or bottom rail and add 3/8" to this
measurement.
NOTE: If installed at exact spans, rods do not have
to be cut.
13. Cut rods to the length measured in previous step.
Vertical and Rod Assembly
14. Insert anti-rattle
strips into the
vertical supports.
NOTE: There are two
anti-rattle strips for
each support which can
only be inserted in one
side.
15. Attach one end vertical and all intermediate
verticals to bottom rail using HZ spacer and
screws provided.
