What happens here
Install the deck railings for safety and aesthetics. This typically involves mounting metal railing posts to the deck frame or surface, followed by attaching horizontal rails and vertical balusters between the posts. Ensure all components are securely fastened and meet local building code requirements for height and spacing.
