Step 1: Railing Panels
Step 1: Select Railing Panel
Choose your colour
Start your railing order by selecting the desired colour.
TimberTech Impression Rail Express is available in three colours: Bronze, White, and Black
Determine the Railing Section height
TimberTech Impression Rail express is available in 36” and 42” height options.
Check your local building codes to ensure compliance.
The following requirements apply in Ontario:
- If the deck/porch height is above-grade 5' or more, your handrail should be 42" high (from the deck surface).
- If the deck/porch height is less than 5' above-grade, your handrail should be 36" high (from the deck surface).
- If the deck/porch height is less than 2' above-grade, a railing is not required.
Determine the number of railing panels
Railing panels are available in 6' and 8' lengths.
Try to make all railing sections on a row the same size. (For 20 feet of railing, create four 5' sections with 6' rails or three approximately 7’ sections with 8’ rails – rather than 6', 6', 8'.)
Railing panel length is measured from the center of the post to the center of the post. Therefore, the actual length of the railing panel is slightly less than 6’ or 8’ (by approximately 3”).
Note: Panel must be installed with a Top Rail or a Drink Rail, attached with Drink Rail clips (see Step 3).

Step 2: Post Kits
Step 2: Select Post Kits
- TimberTech 3”x3” Posts kits are available in 38.25", 43.5" and 48" heights.
- Post kits include post base covers (Post Skirts) and Post Caps.
- Post Skirts and Post Caps are also available to purchase separately if needed.
Important:
When determining number and sizes of post kits you should always consider a higher size of the post for the post that goes to the downstairs. This would eliminate the railing section's top rail to be attached to the very top of the post.

Step 3: Top Rails
Step 3: Select Top Rail style
TimberTech Impression Rail Express offers three top rail options:
- Classic Top rail
- Modern Top rail
- Drink Rail
Number of railing panels = Number of top rails
- Select the same number and lengths of top rails as you selected for the railing panels in Step 1
