Take the long aluminum channels...both of them, and drill them apart at a distance that is equivalent to the length of the horizontal beams. Make sure that all four wheels fit in the channels before you screw anything in...Depending on the size of the wheels, you do not have much room for error, use an measuring tool. Once everyhting is aligned Drill in the aluminum channel.

Put an extra screw at each end, so that the dock wont fly off the railing.

Grease the Channel up wiht WD40, and place the unit on the railing...It should glide effortlessly. To make things a little cooler, add the IR reciever and WIRELESS mouse and keyboard duo ontop of the wooden plank and run down the wires. Hide the wires with wire hiders and zip ties.

Use the wireless keyboard and remote control to support your lethargy.


I did not want to mess around with the dangling wires, so I decided to leave thepower out of this...When power is needed I just plug it into the dock... it has no effect on mobility. When you want the laptop off just press and go.
