construction, check with your local regulatory agency for special code

requirements in your area. Typical requirements are minimum height

from the walking surface to the top of the top rail of 36". All gaps are

typically required to be less than 4". This rail kit is designed to be used

with structural 4x4 posts properly secured at 6' on-center (o.c.) spacing.

Pre-drill all screw locations to minimize splitting.

Preparation for Moulded Line Rail Kit

• Carpenter's pencil

• Quick clamps

• Speed square

• Safety glasses/goggles

STEP 1: Measure the distance between posts and cut the rails to size. Remove an additional 1/4" from each end for the bracket to ﬁt between

the post and rail.

STEP 2: For a 6' o.c. rail with 4x4 posts, 15 balusters are needed. Find the center of the bottom rail. Center the pre-drilled insert rail on the

bottom rail and clamp in place. Mark each hole location. Remove the insert rail and pre-drill using a 1/8" drill bit.

STEP 3: Place a bracket on each end of the bottom rail. Pre-drill and attach each bracket using the screws provided.
