1.
Prepare all posts and mounting surfaces
before installation.
NOTE: Check with your local building
code office for design load requirements
for guard rails and bottom space require-
ments. All supporting structures should
be built in accordance with applicable
building codes.
2.
Establish the level placement of the
lower rail so there is no more than a
4" space from the bottom of the rail to
the standing surface. Mark the post or
mounting surface at this dimension to
determine the bottom rail height. (See
Fig. 1)
Tip:
Standard Porch Rail measures 36" in
height with a 2" space below the bottom
rail (See NOTE in Step 1).
3.
Measure the finished opening space
between surfaces where the railing is to
be installed. Transfer this measurement
to the bottom beam (D) and subtract
1/2" to allow for the mounting brackets
(Fig. 2).
Tip 1:
If all of your mounting surfaces are
plumb, transfer your measurements from
the bottom beam to the top beam (C).
Cut the beams to the measurement
(Fig. 5, 6).
