Measure each straight section and note corners, angles, openings and changes in level. A sketch with dimensions helps you plan sections, posts and fixings accurately.
It’s best to measure the finished surface, since decking and tiles can affect placement and height, and measure each side separately even if they look the same. Note the type of substrate the railing will be mounted on and where stairs, gates, and walkways are located. Oblique corners can be resolved by having straight sections meet at right angles. Double-check all measurements before placing your order.
