Trex Decking:
»
When installing any Trex decking product, especially
Trex Transcend Tropicals, it is a good idea to mix
and match all of the boards on the job site prior to
installation to ensure an appealing mix of light and
dark tones.
»
DO NOT
combine Trex Select decking with other Trex
decking products. Trex Select boards are thinner than
Transcend and Enhance boards.
Railing (Including ADA Handrail):
» First, pick the railing style you want.
» Calculate your spanning based on the railing you chose.
» Determine the number of balusters you will need based
on the railing you chose.
NOTE:
For post placement on stairs, it is VERY
IMPORANT to plan your post spacing based on
the length of the rail and angle of the stairs. For
nominal 6' and 8' stair rail lengths, stair post
spans (measured horizontally) will be less than 6'
or 8' due to the angle of the stairs.
NOTE:
Trex Transcend and Select horizontal railings are
made to be installed at maximum of 6' (1.83 m) or 8'
(2.44 m) on center (depending upon type of railing you
choose). Those railings are not true 6' (72") or 8' (96") in
length. Trex Signature railing and Rod Rail are made to be
installed at maximum 6' or 8' CLEAR SPAN
BETWEEN POSTS.
» Determine post locations prior to installing any
decking. In most cases, posts are usually installed
before decking is installed.
» Confirm with your local building official if ADA
Handrail is required, and if so plan spanning for posts
accordingly to allow for attachment of Trex ADA
Handrail. ADA Handrail requires a span of
6' OC for posts.
» Grill placement: A good recommendation to help
prevent damage to your railing is to not have a grill too
close to your railing. Allow for ample airspace
(6" or more is recommended) between the back/sides
of your grill to help prevent charring or staining to the
railing.
Refer to www.trex.com to view detailed install instructions
for Transcend, Select, or Signature railing.
Trex Lighting:
»
Plan locations of lights, power supply, timer, and
dimmer. These should be accessible for service if
necessary.
»
Install wiring before decking and railing have been
installed.
»
DO NOT
run wires between joists and deck boards.
Refer to www.trex.com to view detailed Trex lighting
instructions.
