Insert the bottom rail (part 3) into the bracket on the base molding.
Make sure the holes in the rail are facing towards the second bracket
on the post. Using one screw
,
secure the rail in place through the side
wall of the bracket as illustrated. Repeat this for the opposite side wall.
Insert the top rail (part

into the second bracket
,
making sure the
larger sized holes in the rail are facing towards the bottom rail. Secure
the rail as described in the previous step.
Note:
The holes in the rail are
approx.
1/8
” larger on one side to allow for proper alignment of the
pickets when mounting. Repeat steps A and B for the remaining post

the furthest end of the rails
,
and insert each one in decending order
