TREX SELECT ™ ALUMINUM RAILING PANEL Stair Installation Instructions

NOTES: » FOR A 6' OR 8' STAIR RAIL, POST TO POST SPAN WILL BE LESS THAN 6' OR 8'. PRIOR TO INSTALLING STAIR POSTS CALCULATE POST TO POST SPAN USING A MAXIMUM STAIR RAIL LENGTH REQUIRED AND THE ANGLE AT WHICH THE STAIR RAILS WILL BE IN- STALLED. DO NOT INSTALL STAIR POSTS AT 6' OR 8' SPAN, AS STAIR RAILINGS WILL THEN BE TOO SHORT. » FOR STAIR INSTALLATIONS USE A 53" STAIR POST. POST CAN BE CUT TO DESIRED HEIGHT ONCE RAILING HEIGHT IS ESTABLISHED. ENSURE ADEQUATE SPACE FOR POST CAP TO FIT PROPERLY. » DO NOT CUT SELECT ALUMINUM RAILING PANELS ON TOP OF DECK SURFACE. METAL FLAKING CAN BE DIFFICULT TO CLEAN. » ALWAYS WEAR APPROPRIATE SAFETY GLASSES WHEN CUTTING METAL. » USE CAUTION WHEN INSTALLING STAIR PANEL AS TOO MUCH RACKING MAY CAUSE PANEL TO DISENGAGE.
