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).
