be equal on both ends of the rail. Ensure that the bracket

screws will fasten into the top rail and that none fall into the

routed baluster slots.

Note: Minimum distance from post to rst baluster slot on top rail is

2 -1/8" (5 cm).

3. Place the bottom rail next to the top rail so that the top and

bottom baluster slots are aligned. Mark the bottom rail for the

inside distance between the posts.

4. Cut the top and bottom rails to ﬁt tightly between the posts.

5. Center the bottom bracket on the underside of the bottom rail

(Figure 1). Inset the bottom bracket 1/16" (2 mm) from the end

of the rail. Mark the three hole locations on the rail. Pre-drill 1/8"

(3 mm) holes at the desired locations. Repeat for opposite end.

6. Secure the bottom bracket to the bottom rail using three #10 x

1" (3 cm) long screws. Repeat for opposite end.

Do not over-

tighten screws.

7. Center the top bracket on the underside of the top rail (Figure

2). Inset the top bracket 1/16" (2 mm) from the end of the rail.

Mark the three hole locations on the rail. Pre-drill 5/32" (4 mm)
