1. Install and prepare all mounting surfaces and posts to which
the TAM‑RAIL Railing will be installed. Ensure the mounting
surface is level and plumb.
2. Measure and mark post 6" above the
deck surface.
Note: These installation instructions provide
a 2" clearance between your deck surface
and bottom rail.
Be sure to check with your
local building code officials for any bottom
rail clearance or rail height requirements.
Improper rail heights and clearance can
create a safety hazard.
3. Position the bottom rail angle adapter on the
post so that the top of the adapter is 6" above
the deck surface. Place the bottom rail metal
bracket (marked “B”) included in TAM‑RAIL
railing kits onto the face of the bottom rail angle
adapter.

adapter to the post using two of the 2" screws
provided in the TAM‑RAIL Straight Rail Kits.

flush to post corners.

above the deck surface and mark post. For 42"
height rail systems, measure 42‑1/2" above the
deck surface and mark post.
