Place a deck board on the stair noses spanning
from post to post. Place the stair panel on the
board across the opening and plumb balusters
while ensuring equal spacing on each end. Clamp
the panel in place at this location (Fig. 2).
NOTE:
Use the proper deck board thickness to result
in the desired nished rail height.

Temporarily assemble top and bottom stair

bases, bracket cover is aligned, and the bracket
is fastened together using the hinge bolt provided
(Fig. 3 & 4).
a. Hold each respective bracket (angled) against
the post face, align bracket with stair panel and
mark all four (4) ends of the rail panel (Fig. 5).
b. Repeat this on the opposite side of the panel
and be sure to label the top rail to simplify
placement after cutting.

a. For the bottom rail only, add
3
⁄4 " (toward the rail
end or post) to the marks made on the panel in

marks made in step 3. Insert the bottom
brackets onto bottom rail, align top brackets
(temporarily secure brackets in place with tape),
and test the panel for proper t.
c. Once proper t is ensured, mark the bracket
positions at all four (4) locations (Fig. 7) and
remove brackets from the rail panel.
