IMPORTANT NOTES:
For all rail installations, posts
must be plumb and aligned with
one another.
For a proper finished look on
Over-The-Post Drink Rail
applications, make sure Bottom
Rail Cover is even with the top
of the posts and that posts are a
consistent height. Prior to installing
rail assembly to Post, ensure
that rail assembly is positioned
(height wise) to eliminate any gaps
between Deck board and Bottom
Rail Cover (inverted, positioned
on top).

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The top Drink Rail Clip will likely not
fit in the first opening and should
be placed in the first full opening, as
close to the post as possible.
