(Distance X). This is the distance between the bottom of the
angle brackets used to fasten railings to posts.
2. Mark the location and height of the bottom rail from the concrete
or wood surface (Distance B).
3. Using the measurement of the rail and baluster (Distance X), locate
the bottom of the top bracket.
