1.
Required Avalon aluminum post height will vary
based on post location and stair angle. Typically,
the post at the bottom of the stairs will need to
be taller than the post at the post of the stairs.
However, posts at the top of the stairs may require
a taller post depending on how far the top post is
mounted from the nose of the top stair (See Figure
10). Always make sure that the posts are mounted
to the stairs so that there is sufficient blocking
under the stair post to securely anchor it.
TIP:
Be sure to check local building codes and ensure
blocking can withstand required loading.
2.
Place a plank on the stair noses spanning from
post to post. Place the stair panel on the plank
across the opening and adjust balusters for plumb
while ensuring equal baluster spacing on each end.
Clamp the panel in place at this location (Fig. 11).
NOTE:
Use the proper plank thickness to result in the
desired finished rail height. Check local building
codes for stair height requirements.
3.
Temporarily assemble top and bottom stair
mounting brackets. Bracket components are
shown in Figure 12. Brackets slide into bracket
bases, bracket cover is aligned, and the bracket
is fastened together using the hinge bolt provided
(Fig. 13).
4.
Hold each respective bracket (angled) against
the post face, align bracket with the stair panel,
and mark all four ends of the rail panel as shown
(Fig. 14). Repeat this on the other side of the
panel and be sure to label the top rail to simplify
placement after cutting.
