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 USE IMPACT DRIVER. » IF INSTALLING RAILING OVER 6', THE TREX ALUMINUM RAIL STIFFENER MUST BE USED TO MEET CODE REQUIREMENTS.

IN IMPROPER RAILING AND LIGHTING INSTALLATION!
