Measuring Your Railing Area : Measurements are from center to center of the posts. Rails are produced in 10 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 Railing 10 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.
