With the deck prepared, proceed to install the railing posts or spigots. Mark the precise locations according to your plan and drill appropriate holes through the deck surface into the framing below. Securely bolt each post using heavy-duty fasteners suitable for your deck material. Once posts are rigid, carefully lift and fit the pre-cut tempered glass panels into the clamps or channels provided by the posts. This step often requires two people due to the weight and fragility of the glass. Use shims or gaskets to ensure a snug fit and protect the glass. Verify that each panel is plumb and level, and then tighten all clamping hardware to secure the glass panels firmly. The video showcases these dark-colored posts and clear glass panels, highlighting the sleek, modern aesthetic and unobstructed views.
