Prior to installing railing: Please consult local zoning laws in regard to load requirements and bottom space requirements for rails. All
supporting structures must be in accordance with applicable building codes. Neighborhood associations and/or historic districts may regulate
size, placement and type of railing. Apply for permits if required by local authorities and codes. Ensure compliance prior to installation. Local
building code requirements will always supersede any and all suggested procedures and measurements in the following installation. The
following installation instructions are intended as a general guideline based on common building practices used in railing installation.
When top and bottom rail length is greater than the distance between posts, trim both top and bottom rail ends to maintain uniform baluster
spacing. Slide post sleeve base moulding over each post prior to installing bottom rails and press securely into place.
Rail Installation: Trim both ends of rail to maintain uniform baluster spacing. It is critical to ensure the trim mark does not interfere with the
balusters once installed. Adjust trim lines to maintain uniform baluster spacing.
