TREX TRANSCEND ® STAIR RAILING
IMPORTANT NOTES: » TREX TRANSCEND RAILINGS ARE DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED OVER THE DECKING FRAME OR ON INSIDE OF RIM JOIST. NOTCHING OF PRESSURE-TREATED POSTS OR POSTS INSTALLED ON OUTSIDE OF RIM JOIST IS NOT ALLOWED. » POST TO POST SPAN WILL BE LESS THAN 6' OR 8'. PRIOR TO INSTALLING POSTS CALCULATE POST TO POST SPAN USING A MAXIMUM RAIL LENGTH REQUIRED AND THE ANGLE (32°-37°) AT WHICH THE RAILS WILL BE INSTALLED. DO NOT INSTALL STAIR POSTS AT 6' OR 8' SPAN, AS STAIR RAILINGS WILL THEN BE TOO SHORT. » USE STANDARD DRILL WHEN INSTALLING BRACKETS TO POSTS AND BRACKETS TO RAILS. DO NOT USE IMPACT DRIVER. Care and Cleaning Maintaining the appearance of your Trex Transcend railing is important. The occasional wash is recommended as over time your railing may show signs of weathering as a result of exposure to the elements. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the environment and exposure to various types of elements. » Clean railing using a standard cleaning vinegar or mild soap and water. » For more detailed cleaning recommendations please refer to the Trex Railing Care and Cleaning guide found on www.trex.com.

AS OF 2024 TREX TRANSCEND STAIR RAILINGS LENGTHS ARE MANUFACTURED AT CLEAR SPAN DIMENSIONS AND THE TABLE ABOVE REFLECTS THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF BALUSTERS FOR THESE APPLICATIONS. ENSURE TO FOLLOW PROPER POST PLACEMENT AS LISTED ABOVE FOR STAIR APPLICATIONS. NOTES: » Basic installation for balusters is the same for all options. When using round aluminum balusters, use correct baluster spacers. » If installing 42" (1067 mm) railing, use longer post sleeves and measure accordingly to ensure a proper cut. DO NOT CUT TO ACTUAL 42" LENGTH WITHOUT CONFIRMING WHAT STYLE OF RAILING YOU ARE INSTALLING. » Ensure pressure-treated posts are installed at proper heights so when post sleeves are installed , both the PT post and post sleeve are flush at top. » If using post mounts, refer to detailed instructions provided with post mounts for attaching these prior to installation of any railing type.
