Stair Railing Installation (continued)

Positioning the top rail
NOTE: Baluster length may vary slightly. Make sure all
balusters are cut to the correct length.
□ Insert a baluster into the rst and last holes in the bottom
rail. Carefully position the top rail over the balusters. Lower
until the balusters are fully inserted.
□ With the top rail fully seated, and using the top bracket as
a guide, mark the location of the holes. Remove the rail
before pre-drilling the holes.

Drilling the top rail holes
□ Predrill the holes with a 5/32 in. bit, angling slightly inward
to allow for clearance from the rail once repositioned for
securing.
9
Installing the top rail
□ Fully insert all balusters and secure the top railing using
the 1-1/4 in. screws (FF).
NOTE: Using extended drill bits is recommended to
prevent damage to the rail, and allow a more perpendicular
driving angle.

Installing the caps
□ Complete the installation by installing the post cap in place.
You can use a quality exterior adhesive in order to do this,
but note that you will not be able to remove the cap at a
later time once it is glued.
