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. Makes sure the spindles are all the 
same length, measure and cut accordingly. Cut a 6" piece of metal insert for the support 
block assembly.
Method 2 does not require spacer blocks between spindles, requires pre-drilling of the 
metal insert, and the top and lower rail proles are identical.
