4x8 SPACED 3" PICKET PANEL
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Assembling the panel
 •  Take one of the rails and gently open the throat with your hand 
or a wooden wedge (fig. 1). This will become the bottom rail of 
the assembly.
•  Insert a picket into the throat of the rail, and proceed through 
the routered hole as shown. DO NOT SNAP INTO PLACE (fig. 2). 
•  Continue to push the picket through the bottom rail into the 
throat and hole of the second rail (fig. 3). The second rail 
becomes the top rail of the assembly. Stop when the tab in 
the bottom rail and the notch on the picket align. DO NOT 
SNAP INTO PLACE.
•  Continue this process until all pickets are inserted into the 
rail with the tabs and notches aligned (fig. 4).
•  Once all the pickets are in place, snap the rails into all the 
picket notches using your hands or gently tap with a rubber 
mallet (fig. 5). 
• The panel assembly is now complete. See reverse for 
  installation instructions. 
Note: PicketLock
™
 is a patent-pending technology that pro-
vides a glue- and fastener-free connection between the pick-
ets and rails. You may spray soapy water onto components to 
help them slide more easily into their corresponding channels.  
A non-marring rubber mallet may also be used to gently tap 
components more firmly into place.
