To determine the correct angle for the railing, use a digital angle finder. Place a straight piece of wood (like a 2x2) on the stairs and measure the angle at which it rests. The video shows an initial measurement of 32.7 degrees, then later a refined 32.5 degrees. Mark the corresponding angle on the 4x4 post where it meets the stairs.
