INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING STRAIGHT RAIL KIT BETWEEN
POSTS WITH PRE‑INSTALLED 22.5° OR 45°
ANGLE ADAPTERS:
1. Measure opening between the bottom rail metal brackets. Mark the length on the bottom rail, ensuring that the balusters will be evenly spaced between posts.
IMPORTANT: A minimum of 1‑7/8" rail length is required from the end of rail to first baluster on both ends of the rail. Check end spacing and shift the position of the rail before cutting if
required. Ensure that the gap between posts and balusters will not exceed 4".
2. When marked properly cut the bottom rail.
