What happens here

Construct the railing sections by first pre-drilling holes into the stained top and bottom rails for the balusters. The video indicates using inexpensive balusters (spindles) found at a big box store. Assemble these balusters between the top and bottom rails, securing them in place. Once individual railing sections are built, lift and carefully install them onto the deck posts, using an impact driver to secure them with screws. Ensure the railing is level and securely fastened.

Goal: Construct and attach railing sections to the deck.

I got some six sensors there whatever you're gonna have to grab [Music] to make the railing I wanted something that would highlight the rest of the black on the house but I didn't want to spend six to seven dollars per post every one of those little spindles everywhere I found when I was looking for custom spindles the price was just out of the ballpark so I found a big box store that had cheap spindles for almost less than a dollar per spindle and that's what I opted for and then to create that custom look I matched the top and bottom rail of the handrail with the rest of the decor of the house so it's all stained to match and go together succinctly
