Preparing the bottom rail
□ Position railing brackets (AA) 1/32 in. – 1/16 in. from the
ends of the bottom rail and mark the hole locations. Ensure
the railing brackets (AA) are installed on the opposite side
from the baluster holes.
□ Predrill holes using a 5/32 in. bit and then attach the railing
brackets (AA) to the bottom rail using 1 in. screws (BB).

Attaching crush blocks
□ Use PVC adhesive to glue both crush blocks (1) to the
bottom of the bottom rail at mid-point of rail length to
support the rail in a level position. When installing an 8 foot
section, place the crush blocks at 1/3 points.

Installing the bottom rail
□ Completely lower the rail into place between the posts and
check to make sure it is level.
□ Once the lower rail is level, mark the railing bracket (AA)
hole locations. Remove the rail before pre-drilling the
holes.
□ Pre-drill the holes with a 5/32 in. bit, angling slightly
inward to allow for clearance from the rail once
repositioned for securing.
NOTE: Using extended drill bits is recommended to prevent
damage to the rail, and allow a more perpendicular driving
angle.
□ Secure the bottom railing in place using the 1-1/4 in.
screws (CC).
