IMPORTANT NOTE:
Privacy railing has been designed to meet IBC code
requirements. Please follow the guidelines listed throughout
and contact customer service with any additional information,
questions, or concerns.
In areas where wind loading is a concern and code
requirement, railing systems may require shorter spans
depending on height and potential increased loading. In these
areas, please see the maximum railing spans listed in the table
at the right.
Installation For Full-Privacy Railing
1.
A full privacy railing kit creates a 72" tall railing
section. Posts are spaced 64" inside edge of
post to inside edge of post and use full length
infill boards (66" long) and rails (66
assembly.
NOTE:
Eleven (11) infill boards are requried for a
72" high panel.
2.
a. Posts are designed and manufactured to
accept 3/8" fasteners (sold separately) for
bolting to surface. Be sure to use appropriate
fasteners for your installation.
b. Determine the placement of the posts by
evenly spacing them along the deck. Ensure
sufficient mounting structure exists at these
locations. Note that the maximum distance
between posts can be 64" inside edge of post
to inside edge of post See Step 5 (Fig. 9) for
reference.
NOTE:
3.
Snap a chalk line onto the mounting surface to
ensure that all posts are aligned properly (Fig. 2).
Plumb and level the posts (Fig. 3).
Secure posts into position.
