Measuring Your Railing Area
- Measurements are from center to center of the posts. Rails are produced in10 ft., 8 ft. and 6 ft. to allow for finished end cuts and angles.
- Determine how many 10 ft., 8 ft. and 6 ft. TimberTech Rail Sections you need and check to be sure you have all the components (and quantities) listed in the chart shown.
- Prior to construction, check with your local regulatory agency for special code requirements in your area.
- Common railing height is 36 in. or 42 in.
- TimberTech Railing10 ft., 8 ft. and 6 ft. Rails are designed not to exceed 10 ft., 8 ft. and 6 ft. from center of post to center of post, respectively
- For all stair applications, maximum rail length must not exceed 91 in.
- If using anything other than aluminum support rail, the maximum rail length must not exceed 91 in.
- 4x4 lumber posts must be installed plumb and level with each other
- Cut slowly, using a thin kerf, finish saw blade to avoid chipping.
For all applications, a structural post must be used inside our Post Sleeve.
Installing Railing with Balusters for Classic Composite Series - Be sure to cut Post Sleeves such that finished rail height is at least 36 in. high for a 36 in. rail application and 42 in. high for a 42 in. application.
For all rail installations, post and post covers must be plumb and aligned with one another.
For Over-the-Post applications, it is critical that Posts be of a consistent height (e.g. the tops of all post sleeves are level and on plane with each other).
TIP: To ensure that the tops of all post sleeves are level, you may use a traditional 8 ft. level or a string line to establish a common level across all post sleeves and cut at that level. Alternatively, you may use a laser level to “shoot” a level mark on each post sleeve and then cut at that mark.
