Step 1: Measure rail opening. Cut 2x4's (or 5/4" boards) rails to length. Attach outside top and bottom rails to the post. See Diagram at Step 6.

When balusters are used for high level decking please check the required heights with your Building Inspector. This is a U.S. product and their regulations may be different to UK ones.

Note: Scenic balusters are installed by sandwiching them in between rail boards. Typically sandwiching 2x4s work better with 6"x6" post and 5/4" boards works better with 4"x4" post. For Various Rail to Post configuration, see Diagram at Step 6. For composite rails, use diagram "A" (face mount the inside face rail on the inside of post). Check with local code officials for appropriate fasteners for the Railing to Post attachment. Six foot (6') is the maximum recommended span for railings.
