Great videos. Decided to replace my 20 year old deck boards and railings with trex boards and composite railings. These videos were extremely helpful. Thank you. Side note: I went and bought those timber lock lag bolts and was a bit skeptical. After installing the first post (as per your installation instruction), I was amazed how sturdy they were. Thank you.

Great video. Really helped give me an excellent procedure for doing this jog. Truly great. Thanks so much for taking the time to film it.

Thanks so much, definitely makes me less timid about taking this project on at my house!

Great job, thank you for explain all the details!!

Thank man! You made it look easy peasy. It always makes me nervous to cut such an expensive product.

Concise and informative. Thanks.

Nice job. Very easy to follow.

Thanks for the great tips!

Great video the best explain how to install, thanks for sharing

Doing this tomorrow Thanks for the summary.

Great video! Will definitely help me get this installed.

Very good video. What TREX color are the posts and upper and lower cross rails? Thanks for sharing this video with us.

This was very helpful! My house has concrete front steps that a previous owner covered with wood. That wood is now rotting. I was thinking of recovering the steps with trex/composite. I watched your other video on the post install but I won’t be able to use lag bolts for my posts (I’ll be stuck securing the 4x4 to the concrete). Do you have any suggestions on the best way to handle this project? Can I just use sleepers laid on top of the existing concrete like the previous owner did?

great vid... thank you! Do you have one for trex railing for stairs?

Great safety squint using that saw.

Dude is a PRO.

Thanks for the video! Is it possible to install one end of the railing directly to the house structure using the rail brackets?

Thank you buddy

As an installer, I even learned a few things from this video. Thanks bud.

Excellent video, I viewed it to enable a repair and this was just the ticket. Just one favor, I sound like an old man, because I am one, but please wear eye protection (and a mask) when using that beautiful miter saw! Thanks!

Thank you.

Are you extending your post above the deck and making cuts in the decking to fit around the post ,or are you installing the post on top of decking material ?

What holds the post sleeve in place? The 2 screws thru the bracket into the post ? Are they long enough to get into the 4x4 wood?

So the round balusters should not be moving correct or able to after you adjust?

great videos, but just to be clear, when you "install the post sleeve over the 4x4 framing" , there is a 4x4 post already set in place, correct? I only ask, because it isn't visible in the video. How long(tall) are your 4x4s? @ 0:40, you can see space at the top of your post sleeve, so wondering if your 4x4 is 37" or 36" or what, as it's clearly not the same height as the post sleeve.

Can this product be used at angled patio entry stairway areas

How do you install a railing like that around an octagon shaped deck. In my case, each side is about 6feet long and it’s approx 33 degree angle between sections.

How sturdy are these railings will they hold with someone leaning on them?

Where did you get those brown post from?

When you screw bracket into trex post do the screws have to reach the wood inside? I feel like the sleeve is a little oversized for my 4x4

Why do you need to put the trim ring in before screwing?

great video. Is it code to have 8 foot sections of railings between post centers? I read 6' & 8'. Confused.

How did you install the trim ring?

Can you come to Columbus Ohio and build a small landing, 4 steps and rail? Cannot find a contractor.

Question: The inside dimension of the sleeve is 95 mm ( rib to rib) and the 4x4 post size is 89 mm (3 1/2” x 3 1/2”). Once you insert the sleeve on to the post, there is a gap of 3 mm [(95 - 89)/2 = 3] all around between the sleeve and the treated wood post. When you attach the RSB to the post, the sleeve has to compress that 3 mm in order to touch the post (from both sides, if brackets are attached on both sides of the post). In my opinion compressing composite sleeve by a total of 6 mm (3 mm on each side) is not good. Don’t you have to put 3 mm shims between the sleeve and the post before you attach the RSB to the post?

question I'm about to re do my existing deck with Trex boards. After that I'm thinking of using one of the deck rail systems that bold to the deck frame down through the Trex decking and attack to the sub structure of course blocking would have to be attached under the posts to the sub structure. My concern is the expansion and contraction of the deck boards getting bound up and buckling as they would not be able to move under the posts so secured. I'm Thinking a cut out where the post would be attached and then add a block of trex under the post to keep it at deck height but not actually being attached to the full length boards, would allow the Trex to expand and contract naturally and the bottom post plate should cover the 1/4-3/8 gap left around the posts. Does that sound feasible????

I am looking at 36" railings at Lowe's, but they don't have 39" post sleeves, only 48". Did you cut them? Also, is that railing less than 36"? If you have 3 7/8" difference from the ground to the bottom of the railing and I assume the same from the top of the railing to the top of the deck post, is the height of the railing from bottom rail to top rail only 31 1/4"? I ask, because I am not finding any Trex products that are those dimensions.

Can you use balusters from another company such as Dekorators with the Trex transcend railing kit?

Do they not come with a black baffle insert to keep the balusters from rattling?

What screws are used for going into the composite sleeve through to the wood? I know they come in the package but want to know what they are if I need additional.

was post already installed or surface mount? will the sleeve go over a Simpson bracket for the post? I need too attach to concrete. Thanx

Can you show how to do a transcend cocktail rail?

I have a 10ft railing and trex's longest rail is 8'. How do I go about connecting them? Also, I have not found a video on how actually use the Mounting Hardware for Cut Rails anywhere! Thank you in advance for any answers!

Hello sir, I have a question is : The post cover you can put over a 4 x 4 stud inside ???

How did you install the rail post to the frame

no safety glasses on the mitre saw made me wince-yikes! Also, if I understood correctly, you were suggesting taking 1/4" off each side to accommodate for the gaskets that cover your cuts-this would be way too much and would prevent the desired snug fit-I usually suggest 3/16 total or 3/16 each side. Great video and keep up the good work-but safety never takes a holiday!

Something is missing. The black channel that goes inside the railing.

Why did you not install the black anti rattle strips? They are packed with the infill kit that was paid for. Many people will get mislead thinking they are for glass and not use them.

Posts?

Video not working - loads and loads but doesn't start

I haven't installed this. You skipped the first step! What is under that post that attaches it to the deck? That's the one thing I wanted to see. And how to attach before the trim.

No Thank You very much!

Wooow well I'm a girl and first timer on this and scare it was expensive and low budget so wish me luck 😢😢😅😢

You left out the most important steps.....installing the post and the sleeve....jc

Maybe hire a better videographer for your next video?

get some safety glasses!
