Instructions / Assembly

ITEMS YOU WILL NEED:

• Drill/power screwdriver

• Miter or circular saw with

carbide-tipped blade

• Tape measure

• Carpenter's level

This rail may only be used in residential applications. Prior to

construction, check with your local regulatory agency for special code

requirements in your area. Typical requirements are minimum height

from the walking surface to the top of the top rail of 36". All gaps are

typically required to be less than 4". This rail kit is designed to be used

with structural 4x4 posts properly secured at 6' on-center (o.c.) spacing.

Pre-drill all screw locations to minimize splitting.

Preparation for Routed Line Rail Kit

• Carpenter's pencil

• Quick clamps

• Speed square

• Safety glasses/goggles

• Gloves

STEP 1: Measure the distance between posts and cut the rails to size. Cut an equal amount from both end of the rail so end baluster spacing is

consistent. Remove an additional 1/4" from each end for the bracket to ﬁt between the post and rail.

STEP 2: For a 6' o.c. rail with 4x4 posts, 14 balusters are needed. Pre-drill the center of each routed hole using a 1/8" drill bit.

STEP 3: Place a bracket on each end of the top and bottom rails. Pre-drill and attach each bracket using the screws provided.

STEP 4: Position the bottom rail with the routed holes facing down, so they don’t collect water. The top rail will prevent the baluster

from spinning. Pre-drill both ends of each baluster. Fasten a baluster at each pre-drilled location on the bottom rail from below. Fasten the top

rail to the other end of the balusters, working from one end to the other.

STEP 5: Determine the sweep beneath the bottom rail. Attach the support block to the center of the bottom rail using the 3-1/2" screw. Prop

the assembled rail in place between posts and level. Pre-drill the screw locations through the brackets and attach all four screws halfway, then

fully fasten each screw. This will help keep the rail centered while fastening. Repeat for each bracket until all are fastened.
