Step 5: Attach Handrail Post Bracket
If a handrail will be installed on the "Splash" portion of the deck, a
Splash Handrail Bracket will be needed. This bracket is installed
prior to installing the decking material. At locations along the
Splash Support Frame where a handrail post is needed, place and
center the handrail bracket over the connection of the two Support
Frames.
Before securing the handrail bracket to the frame, check the
bracket with a level to verify it is plumb (vertical level) in both
directions. Adjustments can be made using exterior composite
wood shims. When the bracket is plumb, secure the top of the
bracket flange with two hanger nails. Verify plumb again before
securing all nails into the bottom flange under the Support Frame.
Secure remaining nails into all open holes in the top flange of
bracket.
Use Simpson Strong-Tie® N10DHDG Nails or similar for all flange
connections. 24 fasteners per bracket.
