Installing Less Than Full
Length Corner Post
Remainder of cut corner post can be
used as starter corner post. Cut and
remove section below last full cap.

install modified corner aligning it
with the bottom of starter.

adjusted to allow for the modified
corner post by adding increments
of 9-3/8" as needed.
