To Determine Your Glass Size

To determine your glass sizes you must calculate size of the openings
(measurement between posts) in your railing. Take your outside measurements
of your deck. For each sections of railing on your deck you must deduct the
posts and/or the wall connections from this overall section length.

Post Bracket
Part #7473

Deduct 3" for 90 or 45 degree post

Deduct 2" for a mid-post
Deduct 3/4" for wall or post brackets
Mid Stair Post
Part #7734

Stair posts - deduct only the post bracket attached to the stair post.
Example: If section of railing is 120" from wall to the corner of the deck and
you have 1 wall bracket, 2 mis-posts and a 90 degree corner post in this
section, the deductions would be as follows: (see parts application diagram)
120" - 3" (90 degree post) - 4" (2" for each mid post) - 3/4" (wall bracket)
= 112.25". In this example you have 2 mid posts, therefore you will have 3
openingsfor glass to go into. to determine the glass size: Take the 112.25"
and divide by 3 openings = 37.42" per opening. Your ordering size will be the
37.42"less approximately 2" to allow space for you to insert the glass into the
railingframe. In this case 36" wide glass would be acceptable. Glass available
in 2" increments: Deduct only 1" opening size for Windwall.
