Instructions / Assembly

Measure the distance between posts and, if necessary, cut the
2x4 rails to size by trimming the unnotched end. The baluster
and rails have been set to 34 degrees, so if you need to cut
the rails and cap rail, cut them to the 34 degree angle (fig. 2).
Cut the cap rail at the same end as the rails.
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 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. 3).
Attach the (4) 2x4 DeckoRail railing brackets according to the
included instructions.

The stair railing was designed to work on stairs that have a 10"
run and 6-3/4" rise, which creates a 34-degree angle. Check local
building code requirements prior to starting your project. A 6" ball
cannot pass through the triangle formed by the bottom rail, tread
and riser. Stair rails are commonly required to be more than 34"
and less than 38" from the tread nose to the top of the rail (fig. 1).
