TREX SELECT T-RAIL ® STAIR RAILING
IMPORTANT NOTES:
» TREX SELECT T-RAIL 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'. 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' SPAN, AS STAIR RAILINGS WILL THEN BE TOO SHORT. » IF INSTALLING STAIR RAILING OVER 6', THE TREX T-RAIL ALUMINUM RAIL STIFFENER MUST BE USED TO MEET CODE REQUIREMENTS. Care and Cleaning Maintaining the appearance of your Trex T-Rail 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.
