STAIR RAIL INSTALLATION:
1.
Closely follow Post Install Kit installation
instructions or use a Post Jacket on an existing
4x4 wood post.
2.
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).
3.
Assemble your stair railing:
a. Each kit with vinyl balusters contains 2 tabbed
balusters. Space them evenly into each
section.
b. Assemble your stair railing section by
snapping balusters into bottom rail (Fig. 2)
4.
Stabilize Section:
a. Place assembled stair railing section adjacent
to mounted stair posts, leaving equal
distances from the ends of both balusters and
clamp your stair railing section to the posts
(Fig. 3).
b. Trace the post onto each rail (both ends of top
and bottom rails). Make four marks in total
being sure to mark
expansion (Fig. 4).
