   I have never used the connectors, my thinking that any variance (warpage) in the bottom or top rail would result in unsightly gaps.  Just an opinion.  I forget the brand that my lumber yard sells, but it is about 1/2 the price of Deckorators (sp?).  They sell the plastic mounting balls and screws separate. 

   Send an E-mail to Bob (Pro Deck).  He seems like a nice enough guy and would probably answer.

   Or you could do "Deck call for Mr. Pro-dek"

   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming....                                                                   WOW!!!   What a Ride!

   Decorator sold out!

   They went to a thinner wall size baluster so they could sell there own own fasteners.

   I would recommend you use Alumastraid and the uni-ball fasteners.

   The labor for assembly is about double that of a conventional wood style railing.

   Here is my two sons putting it together.
