| Getting Started
Project tools and materials needed:
Hacksaw or miter saw, drill tape measure and a level. Check all
boxes of material to be sure you ordered everything you need
and that everything is accounted for. Distribute the rails to the
appropriate location for installation. |
 |
| Customizing Rails for openings
First you need to measure the distance of the opening |
 |
| Now mark the measurement on the top and bottom rail,
verifying that you are trimming equal amounts off of each end of the
rail in order to maintain a uniform appearance. |
 |
| Cut each end of the top and bottom rail at the markings.
(e.g. If your rail is 4 inches longer that your opening, then you
need to cut 2 inches off of each side. Do this for both the top and
bottom rail) |
 |
| Setting up the Foot Peg
Insert the foot peg into the bottom rail. The foot peg should be
3 inches plus the desired distance for the bottom rail to be off of
the floor.
|
 |
| Installing the Bottom Rail
Slide mounting brackets onto the ends of the top and bottom
rails. Install bottom rail first by inserting it into the opening.
Make sure the rail is level and then fasten it with the provided
screws. |
 |
| Inserting the Pickets
Now you can insert the pickets into the routed holes |
 |
| Installing the Top Rail
To install the top rail, hold it at an angle above the pickets
and slide it onto the pickets one at a time. |
