Installation

1. Plan Your Layout

   • Mark post positions on your decking using string for alignment. Start from a corner and space the posts according to the handrail length.

   • Pre-drill 8mm pilot holes at each mark — do not fix the posts yet.

2. Install the First Post

   • Place the post over the pilot holes, ensuring it’s level.

   • Secure with coach bolts to a depth of at least 60mm — posts must be fixed into the joist frame, not just decking boards.

   • Attach the post foot cap to conceal fixings.

3. Fit the Post Cap

   • Slot the top cap onto the post and secure it using a black-coated or matching screw.

4. Install the Balustrade Section

   • Position the balustrade against the post and ensure it’s level.

   • Mark and drill new 8mm pilot holes, then secure using the same coach bolt method.

   • Slide the fixing bracket onto the handrail before final installation. Cover screws with the bracket cover.

5. Repeat for Additional Posts and Rails

   • Follow the same steps for each section. Always attach brackets before securing posts or rails.

6. Corner Installations

   • At corners, install two balustrade sections at right angles to the corner post, following the same method.

7. Gate Installation

   • Ensure the gate height matches the handrail. Use compatible latches and self-closing hinges (e.g., D&D Technologies).

8. Stair Sections

   • Use a flexi joiner to connect stair handrails. Seal exposed ends with end caps for a clean finish.
