Method 1 uses spacer blocks between the spindles, and does not require pre-drilling of the
metal insert. Method 1 meets ICBO-ESAC174 Code.
Make sure the post sleeve and ring base have been installed. Make sure post is plumb
and level. Properly size the top and lower rail, and metal insert by measuring the distance
between the two post sleeves, and cut to desired length. Make sure the spindles are all the
same length, measure and cut accordingly.
