Level Rail Step 1: Determine the desired rail placement and snap line

on the deck to ensure all posts are aligned properly (Fig. 1). Ensure sufcient mounting

structure exists in areas to receive posts. Install blocking where necessary. Plumb the

posts, using the shims provided, and secure all posts in place (Fig. 2).

Note: Post kits include leveling shims and rail panel attachment hardware, post mounting

hardware sold separately.

Tip: Shims can be easily cut using a wood chisel.

Tip: Post anges are manufactured to accept 3/8" diameter fasteners; be sure to use the

appropriate fasteners for your installation. Check local building codes for requirements.

Note: ALWAYS wear safety goggles!!

Step 2: Place rail panel across the opening and adjust to ensure equal

baluster spacing at each end (Figs. 3 & 4). Mark each end of the rail panel 1/4" from

post face to allow for bracket and/or weld clearance (Fig. 5). Before cutting the panel

to size, protect the rail surface from marring while cutting. The RDI RAIL CUTTING

JIG is available through your Excalibur dealer. Hold the tool rmly and place the

sole plate of your jig saw against the saw guide portion of the tool (Fig. 6), cut the

excess material from the end of the cutting tool. The tool is now tted to your saw for

consistent and repetitive use without marring the rail nish. This tool will help in ef-

fectively and accurately cutting any similarly sized rail system. Snap the cutting tool

over the rail and cut at your mark. Repeat for the remaining 3 ends (Fig. 7).

Step 3: Test t the rail panel. Once a proper t is ensured

all cuts must be painted prior to nal installation (Fig. 8). Set the

panel in place. Pre-drill the screw holes using a 5/32" metal drill bit.

Secure with the supplied attachment hardware (Fig. 9) (2 screws

per bracket).

Note: Rail ends may be painted with any zinc rich primer or paint.

For BLACK touch-ups, we recommend Rust-Oleum

, Satin Canyon

Black, Color Code 249844. For BRONZE touch-ups, we recom-

mend Rust-Oleum

, Hammered Brown, Color Code 210880.

Step 4: Place a bracket cover over

the rail next to the bracket and slide the

bracket cover toward the post until it snaps

into place (Fig. 10).

Step 5: Assemble the 2 piece post trim cover by

inserting one fastener in each trim half (Fig. 11). Snap

these in place (Fig. 12) concealing the post ange.
