9. Slide the top rail cap (E) on both ends of the top rail (A) and set the rail assembly into the saddle

brackets (C) letting the bottom rail hang freely between the posts. Check for level.

Note: It is recommended to use the box as a pad to prevent scuffing of the painted finish. If installing

square balusters, make sure they are properly seated in the slot on the underside of the top rail to

prevent twisting.

10. At the point(s) where you installed support block connectors (step 2),

carefully measure the distance from the underside of the bottom rail (B) to

the floor. Cut support block material (F) to fit. Remove rail assembly from

the saddle brackets (C). Slip support blocks over support block connectors

(G). Slide the rail back into place and make certain the rail is plumb.

11. Slide and hold the bottom bracket (D) firmly against the post or wall.

Secure the bracket with self-drilling screws (H). Repeat the process on the other

side. Note: Screw holes in the bottom brackets (D) are angled to make mounting

the brackets easier.

12. Screw self-drilling screws (H) into the top rail (A) from the underside of each

saddle bracket (C) through the provided locating hole to securely fasten the rail.

13. If a deck board is to be installed on top of the rail, carefully measure and

cut the material to the length required. Place the deck board on top of the

rail and secure from the underside of the rail as shown, with the appropriate

fasteners under the flange of both sides of the rail.

14. If the deck board will not be installed, place the adhesive tab (J) to

the top surface of the top rail (A) near the post. Slide the top rail cap (E)

towards the post and press down to secure it with the adhesive tab (J).
