the H-bar.

The total length of the H-bar will be 7/16-in.
shorter than the cut bottom rail.
Scribe a second line 7/32-in. inside the first
at both ends.
Note: This allows for the thickness of the
upper bracket.

Position the top brackets into the H-bar,
ensuring that they are inserted completely.

Square Composite Balusters: Remove the
baluster guide from the rail box. Place on a
flat surface and insert the balusters into the
precut slots.
Round Metal Balusters: Place cut bottom rail
on a flat level surface. Align the cut-end of
the round metal baluster with the top surface
of the bottom rail.

Square Composite Balusters: Align the end
baluster with the predrilled hole in the bottom
rail. Secure the balusters using the supplied
#10 x 1-1/2-in. screws.
Hold each square composite baluster
securely against the aligning feature and
drive screws parallel with the balusters, not
perpendicular to the bottom rail. Do not over-
tighten.
Round Metal Balusters: Insert the screw into
the center "X" of the end baluster. It may be
necessary to slightly over-drill the factory-
drilled holes by rocking the moving bit parallel
with the direction of the rail. Do not over-
tighten.
Continue working from one end until all the
balusters are secured into the bottom rail.
