Open Mid-Rail Level Panels

Dia. #8

Install Foot Blocks

 

For openings greater than 4', install foot blocks 

under center of bottom rail 

(Dia. #8)

•  Slide foot block under bottom rail and mark.
•  Install two deck screws at location of foot 

block, install foot block over screws.

•  Using (1) - #8x3/4” self drilling screw, secure 

the foot block to bottom rail, from the outside 

of the panel so the screw will not be visible 

from the deck surface.

Important Note:

The top snap covers should snap firmly onto the aluminum railing channels. 

Do not use a hammer.

 The top rails will 

snap by applying pressure from one end to the other. If you’re having issues snapping on the covers, check the clips 

to ensure that they are bottomed out into the aluminum railing channels.

 Foot Blocks must be installed BEFORE 

installing Top Rail Snaps.

Install Top Rail Snaps

•  Snap top rail snap over the unpunched H-channel until properly seated. 

(Dia. #10) 

TIP:

 Roll the Top Rail Snap in place to avoid scratching the posts and put weight 

down to get to the “second” snap.

NOTE: Do not install top snaps yet if lighting wires will be run through top rails.
