Install Wood Top Rail and Rope Railing

at least it is to me i don't know if these are gonna work i don't i think they're only eight foot long hey frankie those those timbers are only eight foot long oh that ain't worth doing and you gotta put them post every four feet i would say no [Music] yeah because it would hover right there it would end there it wouldn't end on a post ain't gonna work what's that frankie it just wouldn't be worth it so we go back to our original plan to use the moisture shield as a top rail but it's so flexible that it needs to be supported 100 percent below it otherwise it's not gonna work so frankie comes up with this system and i always start it high see how high yeah and then i suck it in it'll take it down notice you see that yep just one on the top you don't put nothing on the bottom no no that's the the second screwings all the labors which is frankie's way of saying that it's my job so this is the moisture shield top rail it actually doesn't look that bad it actually kind of looks sharp no i was a little worried about it [Music] i don't want the view of the lake blocked from the deck so i'm going to experiment i have actually used barge channel rope in the past but i'm actually running short of it she didn't like to say grope nope she don't like cutting rope this is a bit of a gamble because i've gotta actually drill through my post to get the barge channel rope to hang the way i want it to look but i'm still not really sold on using this material all right here you go bud i tape the end so the rope doesn't fray when i cut it you got both impacts here i do how come because i'm a hog i'm an impact in a perfect world i'd have four to five strands of this barbed channel rope as my railing but i don't have enough material to pull that off but here is a few details on how you install it just in case you guys want to try to pull this technique off at your own on the end post we only drill halfway into the post the barge channel doesn't have to go all the way through it now on the center post we drill all the way clean through and then whenever we come to a 90 degree corner we drill partially in on each end [Music] okay the rope gets secured to the post just using deck screws that's what she looks like i'll put it in there dead end it and then there frankie told me to try drilling a hole with the impact instead of the regular drill driver so that's what i'm going to do here how is that fly still sitting on the pulse while i'm drilling right next to it [Music] and that's…
