4. Establish rail lengths: Walk-in spaces generally
have some sections that run corner-to-corner and
other sections that do not. Some vertical panels

of a walk-in space must be considered when
establishing rail lengths.
It is strongly recommended that the steel rail ends
be anchored to studs, whenever possible. This
means running the rail past some end panels.
Finished end panels will require the rail to end
¼" short since the vertical panel notch is not cut
completely through the vertical panel.
If your wall is wider than 72", cut two or more
pieces of rail so that they meet at a wood stud
location. Each piece of rail should be long enough
to be anchored into a minimum of two studs for
adequate strength. Choose an appropriate stud at
which to have two pieces of rail meet. Therefore
each piece of rail may need to be cut rather than
using any full 72" pieces. The can be cut using a
hack saw, a sawzall, or a jig saw.
Subtract ¼" from the rail length for
