TRANSCEND RAILING

HOW TO INSTALL STANDARD CROWN OR BEVELED RAILING/CONTINUED

TREX TRANSCEND

Cutting Railings

4. Measure between posts

and cut rails to same

length.

NOTES:

» If using optional rail

gaskets, subtract 1/16"

(0.15 cm) from each end.

» Attach baluster spacers to railing before cutting to

allow for cleaner cut and less work.

» When measuring, cut equal lengths from each side of

railing and baluster spacer to ensure equal spacing

of balusters per each railing section.

» In some cases, the gasket can be attached before

tightening railing to RSB.

» If gaskets are tight, use a small ﬂat head screwdriver

to compress the tabs of the gasket if they are stuck

outside the rail

Attaching Bottom Rail (Universal or Beveled

Rail) and Foot Block

NOTES:

» REFER TO PAGE 71 FOR DETAILED

INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLATION OF FOOT

BLOCK (BASIC STEPS ARE SHOWN BELOW)

5a. Center foot block in Universal rail channel or on

beveled bottom rail and attach. DO NOT extend

foot block as per step 5c until all other railing

installation steps are completed.

5b. Lift bottom rail so RSBs are in the channel and

attach with self-tapping screws (provided).

5c. Telescope foot block

down and screw through

opposite sides. Place

screw plugs.

Placing Baluster Spacers and Balusters

6. Cut baluster spacers the same length as rails,

equally spaced so the holes line up.

7. Snap baluster spacer into bottom rail. Place

inverted baluster spacer on top of ﬁrst baluster

spacer. Place balusters in baluster spacer holes.

NOTES: If using Round Aluminum balusters, also use

Round Aluminum baluster connectors to ensure a

tight ﬁt of the balusters (this will help prevent

balusters from rattling).

» Install without using screws (screws are included

in connector packaging and screws are used only

with Designer Railing).

» Install bottom connector tight into Round Aluminum

baluster.

» Install top connector approximately half way into

Round Aluminum baluster.

» Round Aluminum balusters should then have a

snug ﬁt when placing into the baluster spacers

in the horizontal position—if not adjust the depth

of the connector.
