In this manner, the pitch of the baluster with respect to the hand rail and the shoe rail can be changed to accommodate the pitch of the staircase upon which the system is to be used. Once installed, the channel areas between adjacent balusters are filled and the hand rail and shoe rail is attached to a newel post.
