Carefully insert the prepared iron balusters into the pre-drilled holes. Start by placing the bottom end of the baluster into the hole in the shoe rail or floor. Then, angle the baluster to fit the top end into the corresponding hole in the handrail. Gently push the baluster down and ensure it seats properly in both the top and bottom holes. Repeat this process for all balusters, working systematically along the railing section.
