How to Measure Bottom and Top Railings (When Required) 2. For Full Span Post to Post Applications – only top rail will need to be cut. 3. For Full Span Crossover to Crossover post Applications – no rails have to be cut, HOWEVER the location of the HZ Template on the top rail will need to be adjusted in 3/4" on each side of top rail to allow for proper placement of vertical supports.

4. Measure distance between posts (X), and subtract 1/2" for bracket clearance.
8. Place HZ template at end of top and bottom rails. Pre-drill pilot holes (using a 7/64" bit or small punch) at locations. Ensure that template is oriented correctly before drilling holes. NOTES: » Template is labeled for the type of bracket used. » Pilot holes will be drilled out larger in a later step. » For Compound Swivel Brackets, set the rail in the bracket and mark 3.75" from the post .
If installing crossover post configurations adjust top rail length : X + 3/4" if using one crossover post, or X + 1-1/2" if using two crossover posts.
If using swivel brackets, measure distance between brackets and cut railings to this distance.
