railing so the whole kit was uh supplied to me well I paid for it uh through the lumber Ard they quoted everything which is kind of convenient but when you ever get stuff like that it's not like this instruction so it looks pretty straightforward um we are going to have seven posts all around I got six-footers and 8 Footers for the railing uh they look like they just sit right inside there and uh you put these caps over it and then secure the screws from the side that looks pretty simple but and then these cover the post bases but what I don't know is what in the heck this little u channel thing is again no instructions that comes with this cuz this is not for like you know an Amazon sell or anything but we're going to see what the orientation looks like and if we need to cut anything that's going to be the most interesting part is you need to manipulate anything all right for the rails we have six Footers and we have 8f Footers they're 34 in tall and the spread here on the shallow side uh we're almost 9 ft long so we can't use the eight and we can't use the six so it seems like we're going to have to break them down into even sections I guess probably use whatever we got here I'm going to get my angle grinder set the first post and then just kind of go from there should be interesting
