Place bottom rail across the opening
ensuring equal baluster spacing on
each end (Fig. 6). Mark each end 1/4"

Transfer these marks to the top rail and
cut (Figs. 9, 10).

Determine desired rail placement and
snap a line to ensure all posts are
aligned properly (Fig. 1). Make sure
sufcient mounting structure exists in
areas to receive posts. On wood framed
installations, install blocking where
necessary. Secure all posts in place and
check for plum (Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5).
NOTE: Post kits include shims, mount-
ing hardware sold separately.*

Tip:
Post anges are drilled to accept four
3/8" diameter fasteners. Use the appro-
priate type of fastener for your instal-
lation to insure post attachment meets
the required loads. Check local building
codes for load requirements.
