• Trim Post Sleeves to
desired length.
• Slide Post Sleeves and
Post Skirt over post (do
not force). Post sleeve
will be slightly larger than
the post.
• Ensure posts are square
and plumb. Shim as
needed to plumb.
• Position template at
bottom of post sleeve
above post skirt.
• Cut the Bottom Support Rail to length.
• Add support blocks as required.
• Attach brackets.
CUT AND ASSEMBLE BOTTOM SUPPORT RAIL
Be sure to cut Post Sleeves such that
finished rail height is at least 36" high
for a 36" rail application and 42" high
for a 42" application.
For all rail installations, post and post
covers must be plumb and aligned with
one another.
For Over-the-Post applications, it is
critical that Posts be of a consistent
height (e.g. the tops of all post sleeves
are level and on plane with each other).
TIP: To ensure that the tops of all
post sleeves are level, you may use a
traditional 8 ft. level or a string line
to establish a common level across
all post sleeves and cut at that level.
Alternatively, you may use a laser level
to “shoot” a level mark on each post
sleeve and then cut at that mark.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
For sections up to 6': Place
one Foot Block in the center
of the rail.
