Step 10: Attaching Handrail - continued
Position the bottom of the 2"x4" rail board 1-1/2" above the surface
of the deck and secure into the 4"x4" handrail post with the
hardware supplied with the rail connector. A scrap piece of 2"x4"
or 2"x6" board laying flat can be used as guide for positioning
the bottom rail board. Place a 26" aluminum baluster into each
connector on the bottom 2"x4" rail board. Align the top 2"x4" rail
board with connectors into all the aluminum baluster. Position and
secure the 2"x4" top rail board to the 4"x4" handrail post with the
hardware supplied with the rail connector.
For the top 2"x4" handrail board, rough cut a 2"x4" board slightly
long than needed. Position the board over the two 4"x4" handrail
posts. From the underside of the 2"x4" handrail board, scribe a line
along the edge of both 4"x4" handrail posts. Cut the 2"x4" handrail
board to length using the scribed lines. Position and secure the
2"x4" handrail board on top of the install rail board.
Place a 4"x4" post cap on top of each 4"x4" handrail posts and
secure using a small amount of clear silicone caulk.
