Step 2: Place the moulded cap rail upside down on a flat surface.
Next, place the top 2x4 rail with the notch on the same side as the
baluster holes into the moulded cap rail channel so that the holes
are facing up. Starting from either end, fasten the rails together
using the (7) 4” screws through holes 1, 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 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. 3).
Step 3: Attach the (4) 2x4 DeckoRail railing brackets according to
the included instructions.
Step 4: Attach the bottom 2x4 rail, with the holes facing up, using
the 2x4 DeckoRail railing brackets. Insert the balusters into the pre-
drilled holes (fig. 4).
Step 5: 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. 4).
Step 6: Fasten a support block at the center of the bottom rail to
the deck surface for spans greater than three feet (fig. 1).
