SCENIC GLASS BALUSTER INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS (CONNECTORS)
Kit Contents:
• 5 - Glass balusters
• 20 - Stainless steel screws
(You will need 1.5 balusters
per linear foot of handrail.)
Items You Will Need:
• Drill driver
• Tape measure
• 2-pt. square head drill bit
• Safety glasses
• Carpenter’s pencil
• Clamps
Prior to construction, check with your local regulatory agency for
special code requirements in your area. Common railing height is
36" or 42". Structural support should come from either the continuation of deck support posts that extend up through the deck floor
or from railing posts that are bolted to the inside of the rim or outer
joist. 6' on-center spacing is recommended. Never span more
than 8' between railing posts.
• Support blocks
(can be cut from
scrap rail material)
• Scenic baluster
connectors
(sold separately)
• Scenic baluster stair
connectors (sold separately)
Installation Instructions:
INLINE RAILING
Step 2: Cut top and bottom rails to the proper length and clamp
together. Locate the center of the rails and mark. If using an odd
number of balusters, the balusters will start at the center of the
rail. For Frontier Balusters: If using an even number of balusters,
the balusters will start 3-3/4" either side of center, with all balusters
7-1/2" on-center. Mark both rails 7-1/2" on-center, starting from
the desired location. For Contour Balusters: If using an even
number of balusters, the balusters will start 3-1/4” either side of
center, with all balusters 6-1/2" on-center. Mark both rails 6-1/2"
on-center, starting from the desired location.*

Step 3: Screw on one Deckorators Scenic baluster connector
(sold separately) on each mark, using the screws provided.
Step 4: Place the bottom rail between the rail posts, supported by a
3" block (2x4 scrap material works best). Secure rail to posts using
Deckorators rail connectors (sold separately). Insert one Scenic
Baluster into each baluster connector.

Step 1: Measure railing opening from post to post to determine
the length of each rail section.
Step 5: Carefully place top rail over the balusters, making sure
each baluster is seated properly in each baluster connector. Inspect
finished railing for proper baluster spacing and secure top rail to
posts. Attach support blocks to the bottom of the lower rail an
equal distance from each post.

STAIR RAILING
Step 6: Follow Step 1 and cut top and bottom rails to length,
with proper angle. Clamp together and mark top and bottom
rails every 9" on-center.
Step 7: Deckorators Scenic baluster stair connectors (sold
separately) are composed of two parts: the connector and the
adaptor. To install, place the connector on the adaptor, being
sure the groove in the connector matches up with the knobs on
the adaptor. Position one connector and adaptor on each mark
and attach to the rail using the screws provided. Scenic baluster
stair connectors work for 35-degree stair angles.
Step 8: Attach bottom rail to post. Insert one Scenic
Baluster into each baluster stair connector. Carefully place
top rail over the balusters, and secure top rail to post.
