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.
