NOTES:

» All Trex® Signature™ ﬁxed stair brackets work ONLY

with stair slopes of 32°-37°.

» Illustrations shown are representations when using

Trex® Signature™ post, but same rules apply if using

pressure-treated posts and post sleeves.

» Use a clamp to help hold stair brackets in place while

fastening with screws.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

» BEFORE ATTACHING ANY UPPER BRACKETS MAKE

SURE PROPER RAILING HEIGHTS ARE ACHIEVED.

RAILING HEIGHTS AND UPPER BRACKET HEIGHTS

MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED, HOWEVER, DO

NOT REDUCE HEIGHTS BASED ON YOUR RAILING

CODE REQUIREMENTS. MEASURE CAREFULLY AS

DIMENSION HEIGHTS MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED!

1. Lay bottom stair rail on steps beside posts.

Position bottom rail at least 1" (2.5 cm) above nose

of stair tread.

TIP: Use a 1" (2.5 cm) deck board as a spacer board and

clamp rails to post. Mark where lower brackets are to

be attached to both posts. Mark at underside of railing

location.

Installing Lower Fixed Stair Brackets

2. Center lower stair bracket on post above the marked

line and attach using two self-tapping screws

(provided). In some cases it may be difﬁcult to

attach the stair bracket on the lower stair post.

A 90° cordless drill is recommended to attach

screws in this area (if possible).

How to Measure Bottom Stair Railing

(WHEN REQUIRED)

3. Position bottom stair rail along the nose of the stair

treads. Ensure that before cutting, balusters holes

are centered in between the posts and also allow for

clearance for attachment to brackets. On top stair

post location, mark UNDERSIDE of lower rail. On

bottom stair post location mark TOPSIDE of lower

rail at angled intersection of the bracket.

4. Cut each end of the bottom stair rail, rail insert, and

bottom rail cover 1/4" (0.6 cm) shorter than the mark

on each end to allow for ﬁt into bottom stair rail

brackets.

NOTE: Railing does not need to be cut at angle.

Brackets are designed to allow for railing to be installed

with standard straight cut.
