Rail Kit: EASY Installation Steps
Attach CLIPS to Porch Frame
Mark clip positions around the frame keeping clips aligned for proper channel installation. Attach clips a maximum of 4" from corners and 14" - 16" apart using #10 x 1 1/2" stainless steel screws.
(Note: Do not install clips on the vertical channels or posts at the height of the top rail.)
Attach FASTtrack™ CHANNEL to CLIPS
Cut FASTtrack channels to length and snap over clips using a rubber mallet, installing the vertical channels first followed by the horizontal channels.
(NOTE: Install vertical post before installing the horizontal channels)
Creating POSTS or RAILS by "Mating" FASTtrack™ CHANNELS
One of the unique features of FASTtrack channels is that the 1"x2" channels snap together to form a 2"x2" post (Vertical) or rail (Horizontal).
Install vertical Posts by attaching two clips stacked together in the desired location on both the top and bottom of the frame using #10 x 2" stainless steel screws and then snapping the two FASTtrack channels to the clip using a rubber mallet.
Install horizontal Rails in a manner similar to step 3 using 3" length screws to attach to the porch frame and #8 x 4 1/2" with nylon nut, zinc plated screws to attach the rails to the vertical posts.
Use the enclosed template to mark the desired height of the top rail. (Typically 36" or 42" from the floor.)
Attaching PICKETS
Using #10 x 1" Self-drilling screws attach the pickets to the bottom FASTtrack channel and to the Picket Rail Adaptor. Keeping the pickets aligned correctly. (See diagram A)
Installing RAIL Section
Snap the bottom FASTtrack channel on to the clips, rotate the Picket Rail Adaptor under the horizontal Rail (See diagram B) and attach
the Picket Rail Adaptor to the underside of the horizontal Rail with the provided #10 x 1" Self-drilling screws per the diagram. (Use 4 screws spaced evenly along the rail.)
