Rail Angle Bracket

Installation and Cutting Template:

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.

Fit all balusters onto the bottom rail.

Note: Balusters can be inserted straight or

sideways to allow for a diamond pattern.

(Angle bracket Kit Available by Special Order)

Rails up to 20˚ may be mounted to the post face by using the In Line “L” bracket. Cut

rails at the appropriate angle to t tight against post. Cutting rails greater than 20˚ will

result in a rail that does not fully t on the post. Angles greater than 20˚ require the

use of the angle bracket.

Note: The Minimum distance from post corner to the rst baluster hole is 2-1/4 in.

1. Determine the angle of your installation by using the supplied template.

2. Cut the template out along the appropriate marked lines. (You may want to

photocopy the template as a backup prior to cutting).

3. Position the template on the non-routed at side of the top rail. Mark the proper

cutting angle.

4. Position the template on the non-routed, underside surface of the bottom rail.

Mark the proper cutting angle. Template will be reversed from top rail.

5. Ensure baluster holes are equidistant from the end of rail to ensure proper vertical

alignment.

6. Make angle cuts in top and bottom rails.

7. Align the angle brackets with the cut in the railing. Inset the bracket 1/16 in. (2

mm) from rails end. Mark the three screw hole locations on both rails. Repeat at

opposite end. Pre-drill 5/32 in. (3 mm) holes at desired locations.

8. After tting angles to posts, follow the line rail instructions (Steps 5 through 23) to

complete the rail section installation.
