Mark Posts

of post skirt. For a
42" (106.7 cm) rail, top
mark is 39-9/16"
(100.5 cm) on post.
NOTE: Without skirt,
add 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) to
measurements.
Attaching Adapters
Snap adapters into RSBs.
Pre-drill Bottom and Top RSBs
2. Position RSBs with adapter (flat side DOWN)
for lower rail, mark and pre-drill screw holes with
1/8" (0.3 cm) drill bit on post.
3. Position RSBs with adapter (flat side UP)
for top rail, mark and pre-drill screw holes with
1/8" (0.3 cm) drill bit on post.
Measuring and Cutting Rails
4. Measure from corner-to-corner between posts.
Mark 45° cuts on rails with template on assembly
tool. Center of “V’s” is the distance from corner-to-
corner for posts.
NOTE: Subtract 1/16" (0.15 cm) from each end to
accommodate rail gaskets.
