Scenic Glass Installation Guide

Step 1: Measure & Cut

 

Two different rail configurations may be chosen when incorporating Scenic Glass Balusters in your deck project. If you are using 6 x 6-inch posts, twin top and bottom rails should be built with 2 x 4 lumber. If you’re using 4 x 4-inch posts, choose 1-1/4-inch lumber for the twin rail construction.

The overall height of the Scenic balustrade is 32 inches

Step 2: Determine Openings

 

First measure the rail opening, post to post. Attach outside top and bottom rails to the posts. Scenic Balusters will be installed between two rails on the top and bottom. Check local building codes for railing to post attaching guidelines. Keep in mind that 6 feet is the maximum recommended span for railings.

Step 3: Baluster Connectors

 

Measure and mark the center point between rail posts, both on the top and bottom rail. Using a cordless drill, attach the first baluster with the stainless steel screws provided to the inside of the top and bottom rails. Turn screws only until rubber grommet starts to mushroom. Use caution not to over-tighten.

The current design of the Scenic balusters has only a 45 degrees angle on the top left hand corner and the bottom right hand corner of the Scenic balustrade, not as shown in the picture above.

Step 4: Placing Rails 

 

Choose a separator board, possibly a 2 x 4, which creates a 3-1/2-inch spacing between balusters. Mark for installation of remaining glass balusters. Ideally, spacing will remain consistent across the length of the rails for the best appearance. When you have a pleasing spacing, attach the remaining balusters with provided screws.

Step 5: Inspect

 

Install the inside top rail, covering the top of the balusters. This board should be attached directly to the 1st board that has the glass attached to it. It will not attach directly to the scenic glass balusters. Install the inside bottom rail, same as above and add a rail cap to give the railing a professional, finished look.
