even spacing between the balusters and posts, be sure to cut
from both ends of the rail.
Attach the rail by using the (4) - 2x4 railing brackets (sold sepa-
rately) as shown in fig. 1. An alternative for decorative applications
would be to toe-nail (4) - #8-3" decks screws (sold separately)
through the side of the rails and into the posts.
Fasten a support block (sold separately) at the center of the
bottom rail to the deck surface for spans greater than three feet
(fig. 2).
Once the rail has been securely fastened, cut the bands.
