Cut Rails to Length:
Place bottom rail across post opening leaving
equivalent spacing from the last baluster and
post on each end (Fig. 3). Mark 2" from end
of post to allow room for bracket width and
expansion (Fig. 4). Align top rail with bottom rail
and cut both rails with miter box or hacksaw (See
blade manufacturer's specs for correct blade) (Fig. 5).
NOTE:
• You will have to cut through an aluminum
insert in the top rail of an 8' section.
• Prior to installing round aluminum balusters,
insert the provided foam strips into the top
of the top rail and bottom of the bottom rails
(sides opposite of routed holes). Cut to rail
length. Then, remove 1" of the release paper
from each end to expose adhesive (Fig. 6).
Press t the foam strips to rails (Fig. 7). DO
NOT remove the release paper from entire strip
– Only remove 1" from each end. For top rails
8' and longer in length, the strip will adhere to
the aluminum stiffener instead of the top rail
itself.
