9. Cut each end of top stair rail and top rail cover 1/4" (0.6 cm) shorter than mark to allow for fit into top stair rail bracket. NOTE: Railing does not need to be cut at angle. Brackets are designed to allow for railing to be installed with standard straight cut. HOWEVER IF INSTALLING ROD RAIL WITH EITHER COCKTAIL OR TRADITIONAL DESIGN, THE TOP RAIL WILL NEED TO BE CUT ON AN ANGLE.
12. Measure and mark the mid-line (6' sections) of the two end marks of the top and bottom rail. Take that measurement and add 3/8" for rod length in next step.
NOTE: For 8' sections divide the distance into thirds and make two marks for the two verticals.
