Railing

The Railing may be painted using the stencil or by taping off the area to be painted. We suggest that you read through the instructions for both to decide which one is right for you.

Railings - Stencil Method

Fig. 11
• At Line FT, measure over ¼" (0.64 cm) to the right of the right post face.
• Align piece C1 from Sheet C at this point. The upper edge of the cutout should line up with Line FT. Roll with white paint.
• Move the stencil to the right overlapping the previously painted area slightly and making sure to keep the stencil even with Line FT. There are no registration marks on this piece.
• Just keep going until you reach the end of the fence.
• Painting the top rail on the left is done in exactly the same way as described above with one slight change.
• The end of piece C1 is placed flush against the left side of the left post face.

Railings - Taping Method

Fig. 11A
• Run a length of “Easy Mask” tape along the top of Line FT.
• Measure down from Line FT 1 1/2” (3.81cm) and draw a horizontal line using a level.
• Run a length of “Easy Mask” tape under this line.
• Roll the taped off area with white paint. Do not roll in the 1/4” (.64cm) space to the right of the right post face.

Fence Pickets - Measuring

Fig. 12
• Run a length of “Easy Mask” tape over the railing and along the underside of Line FB.
• Measure over 2 ½"(6.35cm) to the right of the right post face at Line FB. This is the starting point for the first fence picket on the right.
• Find a helper to hold the end of a metal measuring tape at this point. Extending the tape along line FB, mark at 15" (38.10cm) intervals (15", 30", 45", etc., 38.10cm, 76.20cm, 114.30cm) until you reach the end of the wall. DO NOT USE A SHORT RULER FOR THIS STEP.
• At these marks, using a level, draw vertical lines extending upward to the underside of the railing. Three pickets will fit within each 15" interval. The vertical lines are used to maintain the vertical integrity of the fence. They will help to get the straightness back on track if there is a slight variation from picket to picket. Measure over 5" (12.70cm) to the left of the left post face at Line FB. This is the starting point for the first fence picket on the left.
• Hold the end of a metal measuring tape at this point measure 15" (38.10cm) intervals and draw vertical lines as described above. All pickets will be painted to the right of the drawn lines.
