NOTE: Pictorial representations shown may only show one style of railing,
while others may also be used. Review detailed instructions to determine
what railing styles and combinations can be used.
NOTE: If installing 42" (106.7 cm) railing, use longer posts sleeves
and measure accordingly to ensure a proper cut (DO NOT CUT POST
SLEEVES TO ACTUAL 42" – THESE NEED TO BE LONGER TO ALLOW
FOR POST CAPS TO FIT).
NOTE: All Trex Select Railing lengths are manufactured at ON CENTER dimensions (spanning from center of each post): 67-5/8" (176.8 cm) for
6' (1.83 m) on center, and 92-5/8" (235.3 cm) for 8' (2.44 m) on center. Note that railings are designed to be slightly longer that required to allow for
very slight play in post placement – trimming may be required. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEASURE FIRST.
