Begin Installation
Install your posts first, always pre-drill holes and ensure all screws or bolts are secure but not over
tightened during installation. This will help prevent pressure cracks.
Installation of posts:
3 methods: 1. Installation onto concrete surface.
2. Installation onto steel surface.
3. Installing into your pine substructure.

Thread rods (No.3 above) must be vertically spaced no less than 100mm apart. The top thread rod
must be at least 25mm from the top of the joist. The bottom thread rod must be at least 25mm from
the bottom of the post (mounted in between joists).

Installation of balusters:
Start off by installing your balusters on the ground or a flat surface, as only once you have attached
all balusters to both the top (aluminium only) and bottom rail (aluminium & composite rail) will the
whole unit then be fitted onto your posts.
Tips: First you will measure the length of your top rail. We recommend 1500mm or 2500mm between
posts, as this will minimise wastage and make counting balusters easier.
Remember: If the distance between posts is odd (eg. 1500mm) - balusters will be centered.

After Installation:
Once your rail is successfully assembled, you mark the correct height on your posts and attach it
from beneath the aluminium using your L brackets. Please refer to diagram below. Once your rail is
successfully assembled, you mark the correct height on your posts and attach it from beneath the
aluminium using your L brackets. Please refer to diagram below.
