![]() Step 4: Attach Footblock to Bottom Railīefore attaching the footblock, invert the bottom rail. Mark cut locations on rails at the intersection of rails and posts. Make sure to allow for a minimum of 1-9/16” on each end of rail from the edge of the baluster hole to the end of the rail for bracket placement. Step 3: Cut Railingsīefore cutting your railings, position both the bottom and top rails between posts to ensure baluster holes are lined up and spaced evenly. Note: Shims can be used to plumb post sleeves. Then slide the post sleeve over the post and position it inside the post sleeve skirt. Slide post sleeve skirts over the post all the way down to rest on the deck’s surface. Step 2: Install Post Sleeve Skirts and Post Sleeves For further recommendations, please contact your local code official. Ensure all local building codes are understood and followed. The attachment of the posts to the substructure is one of the most critical parts of a railing system. Note: Blocking must be added for extra strength. The top bolts must be 1” from tops of joists and bottom bolts must be 5-1/8” from top bolts. Once you’ve confirmed the desired railing length, you’ll attach the posts using ½” carriage bolts with a minimum joist size of 2” x 8”. Posts should be installed at a maximum of 6’ or 8’ on center depending on the railing length being used.
