Vinyl Railing


Has anyone installed Fairway's Vinyl railing system. I just ordered it for a customer and begin installation this Monday. Looks fairly simple but any suggestions on cutting and install would be appreciated

Re: Vinyl Railing


Instructions should be in the box. Cut 1/2" shy of the measurement between the posts, etc.

Re: Vinyl Railing


Is it 1/2 inch? I thought is was 1/4 total. Whatever it says is what I did.

I like it alot.

Did you get the metal posts? Makes life much better than a 4x4.

Cut the rails with a power miter, but not on the deck. Aluminum chips will get everywhere, and you don't want that on the deck. Trust me, I know.

I think the rail clip to the post is easier than Endurance rail.

I think you'll find it fairly easy after the first few.

Except for the stairs. That sucks.
