SLOPED RAIL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Tools Needed: Tape measure, electric miter saw or hacksaw, drill, and a level. Kit designed for a 30 to 35 degree angle.
Before you begin installation, check with your local building inspector for required rail height in your area.
To get started, unpack contents of box and locate top and bottom rail, balusters, brackets, and packing list.
STEP 1
Rest bottom rail on stair treads and mark angle on each end of bottom rail.Make sure you have the same distance to the first hole on each end to assure a uniform appearance.
STEP 2
Trim off each end of the previously marked angle. Place one mounting bracket on each end of the top and bottom rail. (Note: Bottom brackets are interchangeable, turn to accommodate the correct angle.)
STEP 3
Place the bottom rail into the opening and secure it with screws.
STEP 4
Insert a baluster into the first and last routed hole in the bottom rail.
STEP 5
Connect the top rail to balusters making sure you use the same holes as the bottom rail. Level balusters and mark angle on each end of top rail.
STEP 6
Trim off each end of the previously marked angle. Place one mounting bracket on each end of the top and bottom rail.
STEP 7
Insert balusters into routed holes.
STEP 8
Holding top rail at an angle, connect top rail to balusters one baluster at a time.
STEP 9
Level vertically and secure top rail with screws. Place one leveling screw through top and bottom rail on one end only. Conceal screws with buttons.
