Prior to installing railing: Please consult local zoning laws regarding load requirements and bottom space requirements for rails. All supporting
structures must be in accordance with applicable building codes. Neighborhood associations and / or historic districts may regulate size,
placement and type of railing. Apply for permits if required by local authorities and codes. Ensure compliance prior to installation. Local building
code requirements will always supersede any and all suggested procedures and measurements in the following instructions. The following
installation instructions are intended as a general guideline based on common building practices used in railing installation.
YES
1-1/2 in. minimum from rail end to baluster
Rail Installation: When top and bottom rail length is greater than the distance between posts, trim both ends of the rail to maintain uniform
baluster spacing. It is critical to ensure the trim mark does not interfere with the balusters once installed.

Cover 4x4 posts or Fiberon surface mount
bracket with post sleeve and verify spacing.
