- 4. Insert the bottom rail into bottom bracket at both ends, then position the bottom rail between posts, secure the brackets on the post with 2 #10-1" screws.
- Note:
- The space between the bottom rail to the ground is 2.75", use a 2.75" high piece of wood as a temporary support.
- Pre-drill holes on the post to install the bracket.
- When cutting the bottom rail, subtract 5/16” from each mark and cut from both ends for even picket spacing.
- Note: The brackets should be spaced 29 1/4” apart for 36” tall railing and 35 1/4” apart for 42” tall railing.
- IMPORTANT: Do not snap in the last 4 spacers before installing the last 4 pickets.
- Insert last 4 pickets as group and adjust the picket distance, THEN snap in the spacers.

Note
:
•
The space between the bottom rail to the ground is 2.75", use a 2.75" high
piece of wood as a temporary support.
•
Pre-drill holes on the post to install the bracket.
•
When cutting the bottom rail, subtract 5/16” from each mark and cut from
both ends for even picket spacing.
•
The spacer size for each rail end is different. (A special round label will be used
to identify the end spacers.)
•
To ensure equal picket spacing at each post use the bottom rail as a template
to cut the first and last spacer.
