6 ft. Pressure-Treated Aluminum and Southern Yellow Pine Preassembled Rail

Hello Dicktracey, We suggest DeckoRail the Black Rail Connector Bracket (4-Pack), Model # 163602. You will need to cut the rails at both ends at a 45 degree angle.

Honestly I don't see why not, however you will have to understand that these rails are not intended to be used as fencing, and you will have to address the technical aspects of an altered use and take liability in any form for doing such. The company will not be held liable for anything related to your project, and you assume any risk of doing such. Make sure that you use pressure treated lumber (4x4 posts) for any ground contact lumber that you use, and it should hold up very well. My deco-rails are about 6-7 years old now, and they are still in excellent condition as a deck rail.

Hi Nick, After checking with our team of specialists, these were the answers: The molded 2x4 cap rail will need to be attached to the 2x4 base rail for sure. The rail needs to be cut to make the 45 degree angle work. While it is available through special order elsewhere, there is a bracket that is not sold through Home Depot at the moment, which could help your deck rail assembly situation. You could see if Home Depot could order it; it's from the DeckoRail line, and is item #74828, a Black 22.5 to 45 Rail Connector - 2 pk with screws, and is used to create 22.5 to 45-degree horizontal angles. That is not a Home Depot product number, but it should help one of the Pro Associates help you track it down from its manufacturer. As for the wood trim, our specialist said that the product is not a structural bracket nor is it a structural trim product. It’s purely decorative. You may use it, but will have to cut off one side of the "U". Hope this give you some direction on dealing with those angles. Please let us know if you have other questions, and we'll be glad to help.

Hi Chris, Unfortunately, we do not have any video for how to do this. We suggest, though, that you look at the other customer questions/answers as you might find some helpful information there.

Technically, the rail is not assembled per say, the posts are not bonded to the wooden upper and lower; and you can disassemble the rail by removing the strapping.

John, That kit is available only with the round balusters. It is a nice look, though. Best of luck on your project.

No you can't, they do sell stair railing that you will use. Holes are drilled into the upper and lower wooden portions, and are drilled straight. If you attempt to make them slanted, you'll bend each and every metal vertical post.

Jsto, Unfortunately, it cannot be adjusted to use as a stair rail. This is the 6 ft. rail kit: Model #423537, 6 ft. Black Aluminum Balusters Pressure-Treated Stair Railing Kit. We're currently out of stock. ​It looks like we're scheduled to get them back in early February of this year (2021).

With a 3 1/2" space below the railing it stands 36"
