Regal Railings picket question

Can these pickets be cut shorter? I realize the locking grooves would be cut off but could they still be held in place with the spacers? The color I want does not come in 36" length, only 42" which really blocks sight lines, and is not required by local code to be this high.

Welcome to the forums.

You'd need to let us know what product you are looking at. Leave a link to it.
We could look at the product but that question might be better answered by contacting the company directly.

Go to the Regal website and read the instructions for installing pickets. The instructions say that the grooves near the ends of the pickets support the rails. Cutting shorter may be ill advised. Get the shorter pickets would be my suggestion. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for responding, I thought it wouldn't be likely anyway because the posts would be too tall. They don't have the colour I wanted in the shorter pickets.
