INSTALLATION 
SLATESTONE POST COVER CAP 
Step 1 
After locating the desired height of the railing and securely attaching the  mounts, 
(see note on previous page), measure up on the outside of the post cover and select 
the  spot  to place  the landing.  In this  example,  Trex  ™ universal mounts  are  used. 
When the landing location is selected, dry fit the landing on the rock surface.  Using 
a carpenter knife or chisel, cut out the high points of the rock surface to achieve a 
smooth and flat surface. (fig. 1-4) 
Installing Rail Mounts 
Rail Mounts must be purchased separately. NextStone™ does not manufacture Rail Mounts.
