What happens here
Install the composite railing system around the perimeter of the porch. The video features a cable railing system, which requires careful measuring and installation of posts, top/bottom rails, and tensioned cables.

Additionally, integrate lighting elements such as step lights into the composite steps.
Goal: Provide safety and aesthetic appeal with a composite railing system.
