Installation FAQs
Top and bottom snaps should slide off of panels. If a snap has been complete seated, then it may take 2-people to remove. 1-to pull the top rail and the other to pull on the panel. Do not use any hammers.
6’ railing panel measures 69.43” and the 8’ railing panel measures 91.31” with a post attached. This is very important when using railing panels to pre-existing structural posts. Make sure you measure the opening.
The ARIA gate accommodates openings up to 49" (127cm).
Start at one end right at the post and grip the top rail on each side so that your thumbs are parallel to each other and very slowly proceed to apply force every couple of inches. It will be hard to snap on but should work. (DO NOT USE a mallet or band the top rail as it will cause a dent). The only reason it WOULD NOT SNAP on is if you have installed your U-Clips to high whereby one corner surpasses the inside die line of the H-channel. If the latter is the case, remove and re-install clips so they are below the die line and are straight. Then proceed to snap on the top rail as instructed above.
Aria Stair Panels are produced at 37° but can be racked from 28° to 42°. Also note, that due to the angle, a 6’ stair panel will not be long enough for a 6’ stair run.
These attach kits allow you to attach our panel to a post at either end. Included are 4 u-clips (two for each post/each side and 16 self-tapping screws.

TapCon concrete anchors – 5/16” x 3”
Used if guest wants to attach either to a building or existing posts versus our posts. Wall Mounts are castings and are necessary ONLY IF guest has a brick wall/un-even surface or lap siding (un-even surface) to attach to either/both sides. Note, these are not used often HOWEVER, because our system does not have sleeves, cuts must be clean and terminate perfectly to our post or into a flush structure/existing post so as not to see daylight.
Aria gate kits fit openings up to 40” wide. They come in black, white and bronze and include hinges, lock and a key. The rough opening can be 48” which would accommodate two posts and the 40” gate.

How long will the solar post cap light run if fully charged? On a full charge the lights would last more than 24 hours. This reserve is to help with cloudy day performance. The solar panel should fully charge a completely dead battery in about 8 hours of direct sunlight.
