| These
instructions are intended to
guide you through the process
of assembling your new CorrectDeck
RapidRail system. While there
are several ways of approaching
this project, we have found
this approach to be the simplest
while insuring the final results
will meet your expectations
of a CorrectDeck product.
Gather 4x4
posts, top and bottom rails,
hardware post caps and skirts,
and carriage bolts appropriate
for your framing from your RapidRail
or RapidRail CX kit. The railings
are pre-routed to accept the
balusters, and are attached
to the posts with angle brackets.
The guardrails
come from the factory at 931/2"+
1/2-0" long. The routed
hole locations are calculated
from the center of the rail
out to each end, so you can
use the guardrails for any span
less than 8' by cutting an equal
amount from both ends. Standard
balusters come from the factory
at 361/4" (371/2"
for CX balusters) resulting
in a 42" railing. For a
36" high railing, trim
the standard balusters down
to 301/4" (311/4"
for CX balusters).
One squash
block is required for all spans.
Maximum post-to-post center
distance is 8' (96"). This
span uses a 921/2" guardrail;
the guardrails come from the
factory with some trim stock
on each end, as do the posts
which are 55"+1/2-0.
