remembering to include extra space on each side of
the deck board to allow for attachment to the post.
Decking boards must cover 1/2 of the pressure-

include extra decking material on each side this can
be cut off later if need be.
10. Place inverted deck board (place top side of deck
board down) on clean, fl at surface.
(DO NOT use Escapes deck boards for top rail.)
11. Place Universal rail (orient this properly so when
fl ipped over, the universal rail will accept the baluster
spacer and balusters), on the deck board, centered in
both directions to allow fi nal attachment to post.
