INLINE RAILING
Prior to construction, check with your local regulatory agency for
special code requirements in your area. Common railing height is
36
"
. Structural support should come from either the continuation
of deck support posts that extend up through the deck floor or
from railing posts that are bolted to the inside of the rim or outer
joist.
6' on-center post spacing is recommended. Never span
more than 8' on-center between railing posts.
Step 1:
Attach top and bottom rails to posts according to local
building codes. The distance from the deck surface to the top of
the rail is typically 36". Use a baluster as a guide to determine
placement of the bottom rail. Find the center of the top and
bottom rails and mark. Rail length ÷ 2 = center of rail.
Installation Instructions:
Step 2:
Attach the first baluster on-center of the center line
using four of the screws provided. Drive each screw until the
rubber grommet begins to mushroom. Do not over-tighten.
Step 3:
Use a section of 2x4 to space the next baluster 3-1/2" from
the first. Attach the rest of the balusters using the 2x4 as a spacer
block. Cut two support blocks from the wood or composite railing
material you’re using. Glue support blocks to the bottom of the
lower rail an equal distance from each post.
