STAIR RAIL INSTALLATION
1.
POST INSTALLATION
Closely follow Post Install Kit installation
instructions or use a Post Sleeve on an existing
wood 4x4.
2.
DETERMINE SPACING
Temporarily secure a deck board (5/4") to your
stair treads to determine the spacing between the
nose of the stairs and your bottom rail (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Finyl Line top rails are reinforced with an
aluminum channel. Please check the inside of
your top rail prior to installation. If it uses a shape
other than a capital "H", then be sure to orient
that rail so the long part of the aluminum faces
the Inside of the deck (Fig. 2).
3.
ASSEMBLE YOUR STAIR RAILING
SECTION
a. Kit comes with two balusters with lock tabs on
end. Install those two balusters on the ends
closest to posts.
b. Assemble your stair railing section by
snapping balusters into bottom rail (Fig. 3).
c. Begin at one side of rail and align first baluster
with first routed hole on bottom side of top
rail, and fit top rail over each baluster.
FINYL LINE DECK TOP STAIR RAILING CAN BE
INSTALLED WITH TWO METHODS/OPTIONS
I. Using pre-molded brackets
