4. Surface mount – Anchor each post using (4 ea) ³⁄₈” x 5” minimum lag bolts with washers and button caps. 5. Fascia mount w/ brackets – Anchor each fascia bracket using (4 ea) ³⁄₈” x 5” minimum lag bolts with cap washer and button cap. Measure and cut each post to desired length. Secure the posts into the bracket using (2 ea side of fascia bracket) #14 x 1” tex screws. Cover the bottom of each post with a post cap using (1 ea) ¾” painted screw to secure the post cap in place. 6. Fascia mount/flush – Measure and cut each post to desired length. Insert (2 ea) PIF into the bottom of each post. Cover the bottom of each post with a post cap and using (1ea) ¾” painted screw to

7. Rail connecting blocks – Anchor block into post using #10 x 2” screws (2ea per RCB). Use (1ea) RCB for the bottom rail. Section #8 shows location. 8. Top and bottom rail attachment – Top rail is used in the longest lengths practical, longer rails will capture more posts and add strength to the system. To install bottom rail measure inside-to-inside of posts and cut rails to fit in-between posts. Measure inside-to-inside of posts and cut bottom rail to fit in-between posts. Attach bottom rail to the connecting blocks, screwing 1ea, #10 x ¾” painted screw to each side, ½” from each end of the rail.

11. Measuring for glass/perf panel – (A) Glass Width – Measure inside post to inside post. Then deduct 3” from your measurement. (B) Glass Height – Measure from the inside of the top rail to the inside of the bottom rail. Then add ¾” to your measurement. 12. Installing glass/perf panel – Wet the top and bottom glass vinyl. Center the glass in the opening betweeen the two posts. Insert the glass into the top vinyl by pushing upwards. Move the bottom of the glass over the bottom rail and lower into the bottom vinyl. 13. Installing pickets – Slide one end of the picket into the bottom rail and swing the other end into the top channel. Push the picket flush and snap on a spacer on each side of the picket. It is necessary to install the last three (3 ea) picket before the spacers. Shift the pickets to allow spacer installation, the last two (2 ea) spacers installed might need to be cut to custom lengths. If necessary, use a rubber mallet to snap spacers into place.
