a. For the bottom rail only, add
3
⁄4 " (toward the rail end or
post) to the marks made on the panel in step 3 (Fig. 6)
and cut the panel at these marks.
b. For the top rail, cut the panel directly on the marks
made in step 3. Insert the bottom brackets onto
bottom rail, align top brackets (temporarily secure
brackets in place with tape), and test the panel for
proper t.
c. Once proper t is ensured, mark the bracket positions
at all four (4) locations (Fig. 7) and remove brackets
from the rail panel.
a. Measure the length of the rail panel and cut the top
rail (sold separately) to match. Press down on the top
rail to ensure that it ts snugly onto the panel (Fig. 9).
b. Align top stair bracket with the rail end only at the top
of the stairs (Fig. 9). Using the pre-drilled holes as a
guide, drill though the railing using a
1
⁄8 " drill bit being
careful not to drill though the top of top rail. Do this
for the top of the stairs only (Fig. 10).
a. Press top rail cap and end covers onto both ends
of the top rail. Slide top brackets in place on the rail
ends, ensuring that the top rail cap and covers nest
into the grooves of the brackets (Fig. 11).
b. Align the bracket, panel and top rail. Drive two (2) 1
1
⁄2 "
painted pan head screws though the pre-drilled holes
locking the assembly together at the top of the stair
rail only.
a. Loosely assemble the stair bracket base and cover
and use it as a template to mark locations for pre-drilling.
NOTE:
If base is centered without bracket cover,
rail will NOT be centered.
b. Place the stair bracket base on the post aligned
with the marks made in step 5 (Fig. 7) ensuring that
brackets are properly oriented.
c. Mark the two hole locations shown (Fig. 8) for each
bracket and pre-drill using a
1
⁄8 " bit.
d. Secure brackets to post using the non-painted at
