Installation Guide

Starting with the top sub-rail, secure each
baluster using 1-3/4” (minimum) screws
(hardware sold separately). The balusters
will t between the walls on the underside
of the top sub-rail.
Also mark the locations of the top bracket.
Slide trim onto post before attaching rail.
Position the top rail over the assembly.
Secure the bottom rail to the balusters using
1-3/4” (minimum) screws (hardware sold separately).
TIP: don’t fully drive the screws into the bottom rail until
all balusters have been started. This will help in starting
the screws into the predrilled holes in the balusters.
Make sure to snug the screws once all balusters are
started properly. Install post trim prior to step #9.
Predrill bottom holes, and secure using 2” screws (hardware sold separately).
(NOTE: Care should be taken to predrill and insert the screws as perpendicular to the post as
possible. For stairs, it will not be possible to drive all bracket fasteners perpendicular to the
post. The use of a exible shaft or extension may be necessary.)
Lower the top rail into place.
Position and support the
assembled guardrail between
the posts in nal position.
Mark the screw holes with a
pencil for predrilling.
Secure the top bracket using 2” screws
(hardware sold separately).
