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 (9) 3" screws through holes 1, 2, 5,

8, 11, 14, 17, 19 and 20. 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 two support blocks on the bottom of the bottom

2x4 rail using 4” screws. The support blocks install under holes 7

and 14. If your rail was trimmed, divide the overall length by three

to determine support block spacing and install under the holes

closest to this measurement. If the holes have not been predrilled,

predrill with a 1/8” drill bit. (Fig. 1)

Step 4: Attach the (4) 2x4 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 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)
