STAIR RAILING
Step 1:
Attach top and bottom stair rails to posts according to
local building codes. The distance from the stair tread to the top
of the rail is typically 36
"
. Use a baluster as a guide to determine
placement of the bottom rail. Find the center of the top and
bottom rails and mark. Rail length ÷ 2 = center of rail.
Step 2:
The baluster spacing is 4-1/2
"
on-center and equal
spacing for the end spacing. For posts set at 6
'
on-center,
attach the first two balusters 2-1/4
"
on-center each side of the
center line using four of the screws provided. Use the plastic
washers when using treated lumber, to prevent direct contact.
Place the washer in between the rail and baluster.
Step 3:
Use a section of 2x4 to space the next baluster
3-1/2
"
from the first. Attach the rest of the balusters using
the 2x4 as a spacer block.
