Fiberon® Horizon® Railing 6 and 8 ft. Installation Instructions Note: Make sure posts are plumb and level prior to installing the railing. 4 7 1 Pre-drill holes using a 5/32 in. bit (bracket shown for clarity). 5 Cover 4x4 posts or Fiberon surface mount bracket with post sleeve and verify spacing. posts should be plumb in both directions. Place post sleeve base moulding over post sleeve and slide it down to the deck surface. Remove the rail from between the posts.
Fiberon® Horizon® Railing 6 and 8 ft. Installation Instructions 13 10 Secure the bottom bracket and rail to the post using the supplied 2 in. screws. Do not over tighten. Tip: The use of a long bit extension, or a flexible extension, will help with accessing the screw heads. Flip the top rail so that the pre-routed holes are facing upward. Center the bracket on the rail. To ensure a snug installation, allow 1/32 in. to 1/16 in. clearance between the bracket “wing” and the end of rail.
Fiberon® Horizon® Rail Angle Bracket Installation and Cutting Template: 20 21 25 Fit all balusters onto the bottom rail. Note: Balusters can be inserted straight or sideways to allow for a diamond pattern. 30 22 35 Working from one side to the other, slowly lower top rail in place aligning baluster inserts with the top rail routed holes. Fully engage all baluster inserts into balusters and rails. 23 Secure the top bracket and rail to the post using the supplied 2 in. screws. Do not over tighten.
Fiberon® Horizon® Stair Railing 6 ft. Installation Instructions The 6 ft. rail length measures 66-1/4 in. from post to post Note: The slope of the stairs can be 27 to 37 degrees. 5 Note: Rail lengths will vary slightly due to manufacturing processes. Make sure rails are cut properly to correct length. 2 Transfer the cut angle and cut top rail to length. 6 Maximum distance between post sleeves is 56-3/16 inches for a 6 ft. rail Building codes are very specific on allowable angles and widths.
Fiberon® Horizon® Stair Railing 6 ft. Installation Instructions 9 12 Place the bottom rail between the posts. Using the bracket as a guide, mark the location of the holes. 10 Mark the stair angle on the ends of each baluster to be used and cut at an angle on the top and bottom of each baluster. Ensure that all of the balusters are of equal length. 13 15 Place all balusters on bottom stair rail.
5 3/4 in. (175 cm) Post Sleeve and Angled Rail Installation Composite Railing systems are designed to work with a number of different decking materials and surfaces. Before initiating any project, obtain a copy of your local building codes and understand them thoroughly. Local building code requirements will always supersede any and all suggested procedures and measurements in the following installation guidelines. 1. Shown is a 5 3/4 in. (175 cm) Post Sleeve over a wooden 4 in. x 4 in.
Clear Vision System Instructions Cutting ClearVisionSystem Panels Note: Leave polyethylene masking in place until after cutting to size (polyethylene masking acts as a lubricant). Sharp saw blade teeth are essential for achieving good results. Carbide tipped saw blades are recommended for superior cuts. A 10 in. (25 cm) diameter, 80-tooth blade is recommended for all purpose cutting. (For more detailed cutting information, see www.cyro.com.) 1. Mask off area to be cut using 1in. (3 cm) masking tape. 2.
