Next, install horizontal boards (see Step 5 for
calculations on cutting in ll boards if necessary):
Install (6) boards* horizontally into bottom rail (Fig.
15).
* Depending on desired height of mid-rail
(36" or 42") you will need a different number
of boards on top and bottom.
For 36" height:
• 5 boards below mid rail
• 6 boards above mid rail
For 42" height:
• 6 boards below mid rail
• 5 boards above mid rail
NOTE:
Lightly use rubber mallet as needed to fully nest
the boards on top of each other. Boards may
need to be inserted at an angle to start for easier
installation.
Remove the 2" spacer blocks from under the
bottom rail.
Install mid-rail (Fig. 16). Snap second set of post
adaptor strips into post channels above mid-rail
(Fig. 17). Insert the next (6) boards* over mid-rail.
