INSTALLATION OF HORIZONTAL SWIVEL RAILING T REX SIGNATURE ® » WHEN USING TREX SIGNATURE HORIZONTAL SWIVEL BRACKETS, BOTH BOTTOM AND TOP RAILS WILL NEED TO BE MEASURED AND CUT TO APPROPRIATE LENGTHS. » HORIZONTAL SWIVEL BRACKETS CAN BE USED UP TO A 50° ANGLE FOR TREX SIGNATURE RAILINGS. » WHEN USING HORIZONTAL SWIVEL BRACKETS VERY IMPORTANT TO LAY OUT LOCATION AND ORIENTATION OF POSTS AND SWIVEL BRACKETS BEFORE INSTALLING SWIVEL BRACKETS. » WHEN RAILINGS ARE CUT TO ODD SPANS, ALL SPANS GREATER THAN 5' (1.52 M) (EXAMPLE: 8' (2.44 M) SPAN CUT INTO ONE 5' (1.52 M) SPAN AND ONE 3' (0.91 M) SPAN) WOULD REQUIRE FOOT BLOCK UNDER 5' (1.52 M) SPAN SINCE SMALLER FIXED BALUSTER IS NO LONGER CENTERED.
How to Measure and Cut Bottom and Top Railings 1. With brackets in correct swivel location, measure distance from inside of bracket to inside of bracket. ENSURE THAT BEFORE CUTTING, BALUSTERS HOLES ON BOTH BOTTOM AND TOP RAIL LINE UP. ALSO MAKE SURE CENTER BALUSTER SLOT IS AS CLOSE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE SPAN AS POSSIBLE. In some cases, due to odd railing spans, the center baluster may need to be offset in one or the other direction to ensure there is enough room at both post locations for balusters to be placed.
