Installation Tip

To hide the screw on top of the railing, we suggest using wood plugs. Installation instructions can be found here.

Small Handrail Installation Guide

We sell several components that make up our Small Handrail System. This guide will show you how to assemble them into a beautiful deck railing.

Our Small Decking Handrail System uses the following components, which can be found in our price lists:

  • Small Handrail
  • 2 X 2
  • 5/4 X 4

Given the nature of Brazilian decking, we recommend predrilling all screw holes.

1.   Attach the Small Handrail to the 2 X 2 balluster, screwing it in from the top.

2.   Attach the 5/4 X 4 base rail to the 2 X 2 balluster, screwing it in from the bottom.

3.   If you followed these instructions exactly, there will be a screw hole visible on top of the railing. To avoid this, we recommend installing wood plugs.
