Installation Guide
2x4 Rail Bracket - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Measure and mark the center of the post for
bottom rail placement. Bottom rail height is typically
less than 4” from the deck surface but consult local
building codes to ensure code compliance.
Step 2: Place the bottom 2x4 rail bracket on the post
and align the center indicator mark on the bracket
with the mark on the post. Insert and fasten a 2” screw
through screw hole A (fig. 1) and into the post.
Step 4: Place the top 2x4 rail bracket on the post and
align the center indicator mark on the bracket with the
mark on the post. Insert and fasten a 2” screw through
screw hole A (fig. 1) and into the post.
Step 5: Set your rail in place to ensure correct bracket
placement. Insert and fasten the 1” rail bracket screws
through holes B and E to secure the rail and bracket to-
gether (fig. 3).
Step 6: Insert and fasten the 2” rail bracket screws
through holes D and C to finish securing your rail system
to the post (fig. 3). Repeat steps for additional brackets.
Step 3: Measure the height of your rail for
placement of the upper 2x4 rail bracket. Using
the measurement, mark the center of the post by
measuring from the bottom of the lower 2x4 rail to
the bottom of the upper 2x4 rail (fig. 2)
