TREX TRANSCEND® COMPOSITE STAIR RAILING Installation Instructions
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 POST INSTALLATION, 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 THE STAIR RAILING WILL BE TOO SHORT. » USE STANDARD DRILL WHEN INSTALLING BRACKETS TO POSTS AND BRACKETS TO RAILS. DO NOT USE IMPACT DRIVER.

The frequency of cleaning will depend on the environment and exposure to various types of elements. » Clean railing with 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.
