NOTE THAT RAILINGS ARE DESIGNED TO BE SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN REQUIRED TO ALLOW FOR VERY SLIGHT PLAY IN POST PLACEMENT. TRIMMING MAY BE REQUIRED. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEASURE FIRST. » IF INSTALLING RAILING OVER 6', THE TREX ALUMINUM RAIL STIFFENER MUST BE USED TO MEET CODE REQUIREMENTS. » TREX ALUMINUM RAIL STIFFENER IS NOT INCLUDED IN 8' HORIZONTAL KITS. » T OP AND BOTTOM RAIL PROFILES ARE IDENTICAL, HOWEVER TOP RAIL MUST BE POSITIONED IN THE HORIZONTAL POSITION. » S EE BELOW FOR BOTTOM RAIL PLACEMENT AND RAIL HEIGHTS DEPENDING ON HOW BOTTOM RAIL IS INSTALLED.
Care and Cleaning Maintaining the appearance of your Trex Select railing is important. Occasional washing is recommended. Over time your railing may show signs of weathering as a result of exposure to the elements. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the environment and exposure to various types of elements. » F or detailed cleaning recommendations, please refer to the Trex Railing Care and Cleaning guide found on www.trex.com.
