DESIGN & LAYOUT
We strongly suggest beginning with a drawing showing dimensions and locations of existing or proposed items such as doors, stairways, and posts. By utilizing the three available rail lengths, and with the ability to cut down rails to fit a given span, you can minimize the number of kits purchased and at times eliminate the need for additional posts and other parts.
