TREX ENHANCE

Measuring and Cutting

Bottom Rail

3. Place a 1" deckboard on the

nose of the stair tread.

4. Set railing on top of deckboard, making sure baluster holes

are vertically aligned and mark line at each intersection.

When measuring, cut equal lengths from each side of railing

allowing a minimum of 2" on each end from the last baluster

hole to the end of the rail. This will ensure proper baluster

and bracket placement and equal spacing of balusters per

each railing section.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING FOOT BLOCK INSTALLATION:

» Refer to detailed instructions included with

foot block prior to installation of railing sec-

tion as these include other required steps for

proper installation.

Marking Location for Foot Block to Bottom Rail

5. Mark approximate location for foot block, allowing a measure-

ment of 4" maximum. Invert the bottom rail, and at marked

location drill a hole using a 3/16" drill bit in the center of the

channel. Foot block is to be installed at last step.

Attaching Brackets to Bottom Rail

6. Snap the top stair adaptor

bracket (labeled TOP) to the

standard bracket. Repeat for

remaining bottom bracket.

TIP: Use a dap of super glue when

snapping bracket together. This

will help stabilize bracket when

installing.

7. On the BOTTOM RAIL, attach the assembled bottom stair

brackets to the OPPOSITE SIDE of the baluster holes. Attach

both brackets using three #8-18 x 1" self-drilling screws

(provided).

Attachment of Bottom Rail to Post

NOTE: For attachment of brackets to posts, use at least a 3" long
