Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Measure the length of each bar counter edge with a tape measure. You will need to take measurements for each edge where you will install the bar rail.
2

Set the bar rail on two or more sawhorses. Evenly space the sawhorses beneath the bar rail.
3

Transfer your length measurements to the bar rail. Use a speed square to make a straight line.
4

Cut wood bar rails using a handsaw; a jigsaw is an electric tool that will make faster cuts. Use a hacksaw or disc grinder to cut metal bar rails.
5

Sand the cut edge with sandpaper to smooth it out.
6

Dry fit the bar rail in its place to ensure it fits. Repeat step 4 to cut the bar rail again to make it fit in place.
