If your openings vary, list each width first: some may suit this 6.5 ft rail and others the 6 ft or 8 ft length. Using the closest standard length keeps cutting to a minimum and leaves cleaner factory ends at the posts. If an opening falls between sizes, cutting a longer rail is possible, but confirm bracket positions with our team before you cut so the rail still seats correctly over the infill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"agd-s agd-s--text agd-light\"\u003e\u003cheader class=\"agd-head\"\u003e\u003cp class=\"agd-kicker\"\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is made of\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/header\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"agd-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop Rail 6.5 ft. – Black is made from aluminum 6063-t6, finished with AAMA 2604 Super-Durable Powder Coating in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6063-T6 is an architectural aluminum alloy made for extruded profiles.
