Step #1 – Aluminum Post Installaon
 Determine locaon of all posts prior to installing deck
boards.
 Add blocking where necessary to support proper post
installaon.
 Use the composite shims included with your posts to
make sure your posts are plumb.
 Secure posts by rst pre-drilling and then using 2-1/2”
lag bolts with washers to fasten through the decking and
into the framing structure/blocking to hold the posts in
place.
 Cut or break o the shims.
Step #2 – Measure & Cut Aluminum Rails
 Lay your boom rail on the deck centered between two posts.
 Mark a line where the post is on both sides of the rail.
 Measure back 5/8” from the rst line and mark a cut line on both
ends.
 Lay the top rail beside the boom rail lining up the baluster connect-
ors.
 Using the cut line from your boom rail mark a cut line on your top
rail as well.
 Use a miter saw and cut the lines you have marked.
