Rail Sets

# (caf)

NOTES:
At each Baluster item pg we can have a paragraph w/ a link to balustrade-kits. Could read like this:
        Combine our Balusters and Railings for easy-to-build porch, deck, and balcony balustrades using our Balustrade Installation System. Better yet, at Rail Sets you can order your Rails pre-drilled. Then, just add Balusters for complete, custom-length Balustrade Kits - a huge time saver at minimal extra cost!

See Balustrade Height Calculator.

Will need a way to differentiate pre-drilled holes for Handrail and bottom piece of STBR from those for Balusters. Perhaps we could mark these holes "H" and STBR and explain that in the included written instructions. Later, when we have video assembly/installation instructions, we will still need abbreviated written instructions to point out the "H" marking. If KS Blocks are ordered at the same time we should also pre-drill them for attachment to the STBR. In fact, these should probably always be pre-drilled. Do we sell hdwe for attaching our wood Rails to the Posts?)

At Rail item pgs we should mention pre-drilling. Could read like this:
        We can pre-drilled your Rails for Balusters at minimal extra cost. Then, turn them into super convenient, time-saving Balustrade Kits by ordering pre-notched wood Balusters to fit over the Sloped-top Bottom Rails. -----------------------

[Actual Rail Sets page begins here]

Convenient combinations of P2, P3, & P4 Handrails, Subrail, and 2-piece Sloped-top Bottom Rail, pre-drilled for easy attachment of the bottom piece of Sloped-top Bottom Rail, as shown at left.

(including Samples)
Options
      Pre-drilling
Choose from drop downs below to have Rails pre-drilled for Balusters. Combine with Balusters (order separately) for super convenient, time saving Balustrade Kits!
      Cut-to-length
You can also choose to have us cut your Rail Sets to the proper length for installation.

Note: If you want us to pre-drill your Rail Sets for Balusters and/or cut Rails to proper length for installation, please read Important Considerations.

We are currently unable to obtain Western Red Cedar at reasonable prices in the quality and lengths we require for Rails. We suggest Cypress if you want to upgrade from Poplar for exterior use.
