• Transfer the picket length measurement from Step 1 to the picket by

marking the length on the centerline of the picket.

• Use the T-bevel to transfer the stair slope angle to the picket (see

diagram) and then scribe the cut lines.

Important Note: Double check your cut lines to ensure that after the

picket is cut and base plates are attached, the slotted cable holes

align with the railing slope and the cable drill holes on the posts.

• Trim the picket at the scribed cut lines using a miter saw with a

fine-toothed carbide-tipped blade.

STEP 1 - Measure Opening & Angle

• Locate and measure the vertical distance between the points where the

centerline of your picket will meet the top and bottom rail (or stair tread).

Note: If you’re not using a bottom rail, we recommend placing the

picket at the center of a tread.

• Subtract 1/2” from your measurement to account for the base plates;

this will be your picket length measurement.

• Use a T-Bevel (bevel gauge) to determine the stair slope angle.

Feeney® Intermediate Pickets are non-structural railing members designed to help maintain CableRail spacing and minimize cable deection. The #7649 kits

are for stair wood railing frames (with or without bottom rails) up to 42” high with a slope of 20-45 degrees and having 1/8” CableRail inll cables spaced 3”

on center. Before beginning installation, the entire railing frame must be constructed and posts drilled for the CableRail inll. We recommend that you have

a vertical member, either post or intermediate picket, spaced every 3-ft or less. Consult local building code for all railing construction requirements in your area.

Kit Contents: (1x) 46” Intermediate Picket with 13 oset, slotted cable holes spaced 3“ on center, (2x) Base Plates, (4x) #10x1” stainless steel #2 Square Drive Screws

Tools Required: safety glasses, hearing protection, work gloves, measuring tape, T-bevel (bevel gauge), pencil, miter saw with ne-toothed carbide-tipped

blade, electric drill/driver, #2 square drive bit, 1/8” drill bit, level
