NOTES: » F OR 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 INSTALLED. DO NOT INSTALL STAIR POSTS AT 6' OR 8' SPAN, AS STAIR RAILINGS WILL THEN BE TOO SHORT. » F OR STAIR INSTALLATIONS USE A 53" STAIR POST. POST CAN BE CUT TO DESIRED HEIGHT ONCE RAILING HEIGHT IS ESTABLISHED.
