How to Install Trex Transcend Deck Railing | Trex - YouTube

No one talks about the gap between the sleeve and the 4 x 4 which is all around at least 1/8"! This gap will bend the sleeve towards the 4 x 4 unless you install some shims. If you tighten one side and the the gap on the other side become close to 1/4"!

ok I'm struggling. What's the min post height for a Trex Transcend rail install? According to some videos here the posts should be 39". Based on the template that comes with the post sleeve I need 4' posts. Currently my posts are 4' but they look too tall. Its winter right now in Canada so I wont be installing the rail for 1-2 months.

We installed transcend railing system with aluminum balusters. The contractor used both the bottom and top baluster adaptor strips. However, the aluminum balusters vibrate when I walk by the railing. How do we fix that problem?

Is there any way to just get the template? Contractor went MIA and we have all the pieces but no boxes left on the support posts. Had to order hardware from Trex, but would be easier with the template.

Hi, I bought all of my Trex posts, skirt, tops, rail and banister kits from Lowe's and none of my posts came with the template to install the railing. Are they supposed to have come with the template inside? This makes the job of installation so much harder without the templates.

What height does the pressure treated post need to be at above the decking? I have seen 39", 42", 48". I am installing posts but I need some feedback from Trex. It is not told anywhere.

Hello, I had a new porch built just recently. I had trex transcend composite railing and ballusters (black) installed. On one of the bottom rails the screw that attaches down through the post, at :35 in your video has pulled out of the bottom rail so it now flops around. I also noticed that there is only ONE screw, not THREE like your video. Should there be 3? The contractor is thinking to just put in a couple horizontal SS screws under the rail to hold it up. I know he did the install right. I'm just wondering why this railing kit (from lowes) only came with 1 screw to attach each railing end to the post bracket(so 4 total), and not 3 for each (12 per rail kit)? Was there perhaps a recent change, as I note your video is from 2017, but these railings were just purchased 12/19

Do the posts need to be an 1/8 inch bigger than the rails to be able to fit the end caps in?

How is the trim ring attached to the deck?

I have a Trex 12x20 deck with the Transcend deck railing. If you have this railing, make sure foot blocks are installed under each railing section! If you don't have this installed, your rails will sag over time. A year and seven months later, I am dealing with this issue now. I had my deck professionally installed, and they did not install this part underneath my railing. I was unaware of this requirement.

can you add cocktail rail on top of the transcend deck rails?

[JSmith-wyyh]

can you explain what the holes are for that you drilled in the bottom rail? thanks

Step 1:09 has been impossible for me. Many of my infil kits were pressed incorrectly and have different hole spacing. You must open each box carefully and be prepared to go back and forth to the dealer a few times. You will be lucky if they help you. I do not live that close to the dealer either. I wound up purchasing new kits. Not only a waste of money but time.

Is there an easy way to take the scuff marks/debris off the posts when you lift the spacers up? It left white marks all along the posts that can only be removed, with difficulty, by magic eraser sponges.

Can someone help me find the template used in this video? I found other templates but they don't match the one being used in this video....Thank you
