Aach posts to decking frame. Square to straight side of rim joist

and level. Follow procedures 2-4 to install posts and decking.

Determine the angle of the top rail

A. Lay a top rail centered on top of the two posts and mark angle

(see railing orientaon) and cut.

B. Mark and cut the boom rail the same way, making sure to lay

the 4-inch leg on the posts.

A. Place boom rail on blocks that are cut to the toe sweep height

desired (no less than 2-inches nor greater than 4-inches) – 4-inch leg

lying on blocks.

B. Place baluster with 45-degree cut side against the post posioned

at the 45-degree corner and sit on the boom rail. Aach it to the

post using procedure #5C.

C. Place a regular baluster against the diagonal baluster, sing on

boom rail and aach with three, 2-1/4-inch, #7 stainless steel trim

head screws, evenly spaced top to boom.

Finish with steps #5D through #11 – with the excepon of the post

baluster that has been installed already in this 45-degree secon

(step #14).
