SELECT RAILING
HOW TO INSTALL TREX SELECT STAIR RAILING
TREX SELECT
Read all instructions BEFORE installation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: POST TO POST SPAN WILL
BE LESS THAN 6’. PRIOR TO INSTALLING POSTS
CALCULATE POST TO POST SPAN USING A
MAXIMUM RAIL LENGTH OF 6’ AND THE
ANGLE (32°-37°) AT WHICH THE RAILS WILL BE
INSTALLED. DO NOT INSTALL STAIR POSTS AT
6' SPAN, AS STAIR RAILINGS WILL THEN BE TOO
SHORT.
NOTE: All Select railings work ONLY WITH STAIR
SLOPES OF 32° TO 37°.
Installing Posts, Post
Sleeve Skirts, and Post
Sleeves for Stair Rails
1. Install posts, post
sleeve skirts, and post
sleeves according to
standard Select railing
instructions.
» In most cases, a post and post sleeve longer than
39" (991 mm) will be needed on the lower section
of stair rail to accommodate stair angle.
» Make sure top and bottom posts for stairs are
installed at nose of each tread.
Measuring and Cutting Railings
2. Set railing along the nose of the stair treads, making
sure baluster holes are vertically aligned and mark
line at each intersection. When measuring, cut
equal lengths from each side of railing allowing
a minimum of 2" on each end from the last
baluster hole to the end of the rail. This will
ensure proper baluster and bracket placement and
equal spacing of balusters per each railing section.
Cutting Balusters on
Angle (OPTIONAL)
3a. In order for balusters
to seat properly
(depending on the
angle of the stair
railing), the balusters
may need to be
trimmed to match the
angle of the bottom and top railing.
3b. Set bottom railing on nose of stair treads and set
baluster at 90º on the outside of the railing, mark
and measure the angle.
NOTE: Measure, mark, and cut a scrap board to ensure
you have proper angle BEFORE cutting balusters on angle.
3c. Cut the VERY END
of baluster, both top
and bottom, making
sure that point to point
measurement of the
baluster remains at either
32" (813 mm) for 36" (914
mm) rail heights or 38"
(965 mm) for
42" (1067 mm) rail heights.
IMPORTANT NOTE
REGARDING FOOT BLOCK

» Determine which style
of foot block is included.
Original foot block is a one-piece part that is
adjustable. New foot block is a two-piece part with
turning base mount.
