What happens here

Carefully position the prepared bar top assembly onto the deck's existing railing posts and top rail. Ensure it is level and properly aligned with the deck structure. Use a level tool to verify horizontal alignment. Once satisfied with the positioning, use a cordless drill/driver (a DeWalt model is shown) with appropriate screws to secure the bar top from underneath. Attach it firmly to the deck posts and any supporting structure, ensuring a stable and safe installation.

Goal: Mount the bar top securely to the deck structure
