RAIL BRACKET INSTALLATION ON COMPOSITE
POST SLEEVE
Step 1: Install bottom angle / stair rail bracket.
Measure up 2-3/16 in. from the deck surface and mark this location with a pencil
onto the post (Figure 1). Locate the bottom rail bracket against the post, aligning
the BOTTOM of the bracket with the 2-3/16 in. marked line. Take care to ensure
the bracket is centered on the post. Mark the center of the two mounting holes
located inside the bracket against the post.
Pre-drill the marked holes with a 1/8 in. drill bit. Locate the bracket over the
pre-drilled mounting holes, and install two #12 x 2 in. screws through the
bracket and post sleeve and into the wood post. Do not overtighten screws.
Step 2: Install top angle / stair
rail bracket.
Measure up 33-15/16 in., for 36 in. rail height, or 39-15/16 in., for 42 in. rail height,
from the deck surface and make a horizontal line with a pencil onto the post
(Figure 2). Locate the top rail bracket against the post, aligning the BOTTOM of
the bracket with the marked line. Take care to ensure the bracket is centered on
the post. Mark the center of the two mounting holes located inside the bracket
against the post.
Pre-drill the marked holes with a 1/8 in. drill bit. Locate the bracket over the
pre-drilled mounting holes, and install two #12 x 2 in. screws through the
bracket and post sleeve and into the wood post. Do not overtighten screws.
