• Measurements are from center to center of the posts. Rails
are produced to 92.75” and 68”. Maximum finished rail
length must not exceed 91.75”. Please allow for finished
end cuts and angles when selecting rail length.
• Determine how many 6’ or 8’ RadianceRail Express sections
you need and check to be sure you have all the components
(and quantities) listed in the chart shown to the right.
• RadianceRail Express is designed to not exceed 6’ and 8’
on center of post to center of post, respectively. For angled
and stair runs center to center post spacing will be less
than 6’ or 8’.
• Stairs require 35 3/4” long balusters to trim to size.
• 4x4 lumber posts or TimberTech Secure Mount Posts should
be installed plumb.
• Cut slowly, using a fine tooth saw blade to avoid chipping.
• For 42” railing use 8’ Post Sleeves.
• Miter Saw (blade
designed for
finished cuts)
