LEVEL RAIL INSTALLATION
1.
POST INSTALLATION
Closely follow Post Install Kit installation
instructions or use a Post Sleeve over an existing
wood 4x4.
NOTE: The deck top railing can be installed
either between posts or over posts (Fig. 1). If
installing a deck board over the top of your post,
you will need to cut your structural posts down
to a height of 35
You will cut your sleeves to length later, in Step
6c.
2.
CUT RAILS TO LENGTH
a. Place bottom rail across post opening leaving
equivalent spacing from the last baluster and
post on each end (Fig. 2).
b. Mark
expansion (Fig. 3).
c. Align top rail with bottom rail and cut both
rails with miter box or hacksaw (see saw blade
manufacturer's specs for correct blade) (Fig. 4).
NOTE: You will have to cut through an aluminum
insert in each rail.
3.
SPACER BLOCKS
Cut two 2" temporary wood spacer blocks (not
included) to insert under ends of railing sections
to temporarily assist in aligning railing section
