Step 8: Attach post baseplate cover.
Aer the top and bottom rails and / or stairs have been installed, position both
halves of the baseplate cover on either side of the post above the baseplate
and below the bottom rail. Align the locking pins on one half to the matching
holes on the other half and slide together.
Optional: Apply PVC adhesive to the locking pins prior to sliding halves
together for a secure fit (Figure 13).

Step 6: Install stair balusters.
Starting from the bottom of the stairs, install one baluster into the bottom
rail so it is plumb with the bottom post. Measure the opening size for the first
spacer clip, cut it and install into underside of top rail (Figure 10). Continue
adding a baluster then a spacer clip until you’ve installed the last baluster.
Measure the last opening then measure, cut and install the last spacer clip
