The 1000 Series Universal 45° Wedge from Superior Outdoor Products makes it easy to install vinyl deck railing at a precise 45-degree angle from a newel post. These wedges mount directly to the corner of a post and create a flat mounting surface for railing brackets, allowing installers to transition railing sections cleanly around angled deck corners or custom deck shapes.
Designed specifically for the Superior Outdoor Products 1000 Series vinyl railing system, these wedges are intended to be used with the standard level rail brackets included with most railing kits. If additional brackets are needed, they can be purchased separately using the 1000 Series Level Rail Mounting Brackets.

Buying Guide
When designing a deck with angled sections or non-standard layouts, railing components must adapt to the geometry of the deck structure. The 1000 Series Universal 45° Wedge provides a simple way to connect railing sections at a fixed 45-degree angle while maintaining proper bracket alignment.
Most standard vinyl railing systems are designed for straight runs between posts. When a deck includes corners, diagonal sections, or custom shapes, installers often need accessories like wedges or adjustable brackets to maintain proper rail positioning. These wedges create a flat mounting surface that allows standard brackets to function correctly even when the rail changes direction.
If your railing kit does not include additional mounting brackets, you can purchase them separately using the 1000 Series Level Rail Mounting Brackets. Pairing the correct brackets with these wedges ensures a secure installation and a clean finished appearance.
