INSPIRE RAILING INSTALLATION

INTRODUCTION

READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE

STARTING INSTALLATION

It is the responsibility of the installer to meet all code and

safety requirements, and to obtain all required building

permits. The deck and railing installer should determine

and implement appropriate installation techniques for each

installation situation. Fortress Building Products and

its distributors shall not be held liable for improper or unsafe

installations.

Fortress Posts must always be secured to the deck

framing and should never be attached to only the deck

boards.

Note

When cutting Inspire Railing, it is very important to

complete the following at cut points:

• Remove all metal shavings from the cut area.

• File any sharp edges left by cutting. Thoroughly

wipe and remove any filings, grime or dirt from the

railing.

• Apply two coats of Fortress zinc based touch-up

paint to the cut area. If touch up is at rail ends,

allow paint to dry before connecting bracket to

post.

• Be sure to remove any metal shavings from the

surface of deck, patio or balcony to prevent stains

on the deck surface.

Torx Safety Tips

• Always use the lowest speed setting on drill.

• To reduce chance of bit breakage, start tightening with drill

on low torque setting and work up until screw is secured.

Tip: Pre-drill holes with 3/16” [5mm] drill bit.
