How to Build a Splash Pool Deck
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.
