Instructions / Assembly

Step 1: Measure the distance between posts and cut the rails to
size. For even spacing between the balusters and posts, be sure to
cut from both ends of rails.
Step 2: Place the moulded cap rail upside down on a flat surface.
Next, place one of the 2x4 rails into the moulded cap rail channel so
that the holes are facing up. Starting from either end, fasten the top
2x4 to the cap rail using the (7) 3" screws through holes 1, 2, 5, 8,
11, 14, and 15. If rails are trimmed, predrill any additional holes with
a 1/8" drill bit and insert the screw into the next nearest hole. (Fig. 1)
Step 3: Attach the support block on the bottom of the bottom 2x4
rail using the 4" screw. The support block installs under hole 8. If
your rail was not trimmed evenly from both sides, find the closest
hole to the center to secure the support block. If that hole has not
been predrilled, predrill with a 1/8" drill bit. (Fig. 1)
Step 4: Attach the (4) 2x4 DeckoRail
®
railing brackets to the posts
according to the included instructions.
Step 5: Attach the bottom 2x4 rail, with the holes facing up, using
the 2x4 DeckoRail railing brackets. Insert the balusters into the
predrilled holes. (Fig. 2)
Step 6: Attach the cap rail by aligning the holes to the baluster at one
end of the rail and working your way to the opposite end, ensuring
that all of the balusters are secured between the two rails. (Fig. 2)
