HOW TO INSTALL SELECT ALUMINUM RAIL HORIZONTAL PANEL – COCKTAIL RAIL CONFIGURATIONS » Trex Cocktail Rail brackets (sold separately) are for use with either Traditional or Cocktail designs. For a 6' section, use 4 brackets and screws provided, for 8' section, use 5 brackets and screws provided. » When installing Cocktail or Traditional railing configurations with Select Aluminum Posts, you MUST use taller posts. For 36" railing heights use 42" post, for 42" railing heights use 53" post. Failure to do this will not allow post caps to fit properly on posts due to insufficient clearance. » When using Select Aluminum Posts, these can be cut to desired heights once Cocktail or Traditional rail heights are established. Ensure to allow enough space for post cap to fit properly. » When using pressure treated and post sleeve, post and post sleeve must be cut. » If using a one-piece skirt, ensure to attach this BEFORE attaching railing. » IF USING PRESSURE-TREATED POSTS WITH POST SLEEVES, PLEASE REFER TO LOCAL BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO ATTACHING PRESSURE-TREATED POSTS.
