USING STANDARD 2.5" AVALON POSTS
1.
When running a deckboard over the top of your
post, measure and cut posts so that the top of
the post sits 36
surface. This should be achieved but cutting 3¼"
off of a 39" or 45" post.
NOTE: 39" post measures 39
plate. 45" post measures 45
plate.
2.
Install Avalon posts and railing systems per the
instructions provided in the railing kit. If using
glass slats for your install, you will need the
instructions that are included in your rail beam
kit for glass slat rail assembly. Oberon Top Rail
should be cut
rail panel.
NOTE: Top rail has holes punched every 12" along
the length of the rail for deckboard attachment.
If you are cutting the rail down, be sure to cut so
that holes are as close to the posts on both sides
for best results – you should have a hole at least
1-2" from the post. If needed, a ¼" hole can be
drilled to locate screws near the post for additional
strength.
Install deck board on top of railing systems. Deck
boards will run over the top of line posts and are
mitre cut in the corners (Fig. 1 & 2). For end posts,
deck boards can terminate flush to the post or run
over the top if desired.
3.
Once deck boards are centered and in place,
secure deck boards to railing system adapter
using provided #10x¾" screws in the pre-
determined locations punched in the rail on both
sides along the length of the rail (Fig. 3).
When installing, locate and fasten the screws into
the center of the slot to allow for expansion and
contraction. Secure screws on both sides of the
rail as close to the post as possible at both ends.
Use remaining screws and install evenly along the
length of the rail.
