ANGLED RAIL INSTALLATION
FINYL LINE DECK TOP RAILING CAN BE INSTALLED
AT ANGLES WITH TWO METHODS/OPTIONS
I. Using pre-molded adapters (at 22.5° or 45°)
II. Using field cut angle brackets
I. 22.5°/45° PRE-MOLDED ADAPTERS
1. Measure distance between post from inside
corners (Fig. 1) that will be using the pre-
molded adapter and the next post. Subtract
¾" from that distance and that will be the
length you will need to cut your top and
bottom rails (Fig. 1).
2. Install railing as outlined in level rail section,
noting the following:
Place adapter between brackets and posts.
Pre-drill and use the longer 3" screws
provided with adapters to connect to the post
(Fig. 2).
II. FIELD CUT ANGLE BRACKET
1. Slide handrail bracket over ends of railing.
Measure angle required and cut bracket and
rail (and aluminum channel) to that angle.
2. Repeat for bottom rail.
3. Install railing per instructions for level railing.
NOTE: The maximum cut angle should be no
greater than 21.5 degrees to ensure the bracket/
rail does not overhang the 4x4 post. If you
use this bracket at an angle greater than 21.5
degrees, it is recommended to use a larger post
sleeve. The deck board, if installed post to post
(versus over the top) will extend beyond the
width of the post (Fig. 3).
You will want to cut the angle bracket enough to
keep your spacing between your post and first
baluster at a minimum (4" or less).
Depending on how much the bracket has been
cut, a shorter screw may be necessary (to
ensure screw does not protrude through the post
sleeve).
