Thanks for your kind words Olga! All the best with you future projects!!
Man thakn you so much this helped a ton!
good job dude... i like that rail
great teaching thanks australia
This is what i want to learn. Great speaker and work
Thanks Wendy! We really appreciate your positive feedback!! Best of luck with your project:)
Yup, good job!
great job！
beautiful
Nice one
are the drilled holes on stair rail lined up or off set with
the adapters
We want to do a similar indoor industrial handrail with rebar. Any tips?
Hi where do you start from to calculate where your post go as obviously all the rails won't be the same length but need to keep all the spacing between spindles the same, cheers
How did you notch out the corner 4x4 posts?
Just went through a 12x12 deck with this system. The aluminum balusters go pretty well all though time consuming. Some spacing may vary by the center mark per section for code and aesthetics. They suggest silicone around every baluster connection. Definitely use the black colored stuff vs clear. Also top tip when you do the stair balusters you likely have to cut them. I used a plumbing pipe cutter for perfect cuts. Didn't hurt the powder coatings for me. You could use blue tape but up to you. Good luck!
You should never have to cut them
Super
Do you have a link to the railing kit?
Hey, what height was your finished hand rail? And do the plastic ends of the balusters come off so you can trim down the aluminum balusters if you need to?
Great video. Is there a way to build a matching deck gate using the same veranda product?
Its likely possible. I'm not sure how you would get any support corner to corner diagonally unless you used light gauge airplane cable and turnbuckles. If you do it be sure to send us a pic. Happy gate building:)
Do you recommend a (2x4) or (2x6) handrail for the top. Also, I was thinking of installing solar lights over my posts...could they just attach to the top of the handrail, instead of the actual post ?
Solar lights attach to posts from what we've experienced. Just make your posts longer and but your cap into the posts instead of running over the top. You can use 2x6 as a cap if you like, depends if you want to have a larger ledge to set things. All the best.
Good work, man! a quick question, what hardware used to install the top support between posts? I see a kinda black brace, but couldn't find anything like online. Would you mind share the hardware link? Thanks!
This hardware came with the spindle kit, without them the job looks rough. I'd go into your local hardware store and talk to the contractor desk, they will likely be able to order in in something similar.
What is the size of bit for 3/4" baluster plus plastic cap? 3/4" bit is too small.
How tall did this railing end up being? I ordered the 26 inch aluminum railings and doing the math it will be hard to get a 36" railing using 2×4s for the horizontal supports and a 2x6 handrail.
3 1/2” top support 3 1/2” bottom support 1 1/2” cap 26” spindles and bottom rail support 3 1/2” off the deck surface. 26” + 3 1/2”+ 3 1/2”+ 3 1/2” + 1 1/2” = 38” - 2 inches that the spindles go into top and bottom railing + 36"
So if my deck is above 24 inches I would have to bolt the post on the inside of the rim joist? So basically Id have to Sink a larger post in the ground and run it up through the deck?
In Ontario you don't need to extend the footing posts. In our area the building codes allows us to place the full post flush with the bottom of the floor joists and bolt to the rim board and joists. The post ends up being a little stronger but you end up losing about 3" vs the way we did it.
All the best with your project:)
I may have overlooked it, but do you have anything on using natural round wood to build a rail?
Sorry, we have not done any round wood spindles on exterior rails. All the best with your project!
What kind of lag bolts? Do I have to use carriage bolts on post rail mounted inside of joist?
We still use lag bolts when we mount on the inside. I would recommend a 3/8"x 4" galvanized lag bolt with a washer (minimum 2 per post). All the best with your project!
The stair kit is 4ft but the distance between my posts on my stairs is 4ft and 4.5 inches. What do you suggest?
I'm sorry Zina N, I'm not following. Did you buy pre made stair stringers and it is not working out for you?
Premmo this man sounds so canadain
ootside!
Could just lap-joint vs. miter 45. :)
thats what i do i find the miters eventually come apart but we are in SC ... and he sounds Canadian so big weather difference
You need a video to show how you assemble The veranda vinyl rail you cannot hold the balusters straight when you're trying to assemble it they keep falling out don't know how to keep them from falling out so you can measure and do what you have to do
This is a quality instructional video, but the music is very distracting.
Apologies for the distracting music. Thanks for watching!
Hi Mark, I have a couple questions and was wondering if there was a way I could reach you by message or email?

You know im watching this for the pain in the ass stair rail trick the and i see two fall sideways then They are magically together…. Do a video on how to connect those angle spindles they are so annoying alone.
Whats with the stair rail meeting the top deck rail? LOL
Hi Grixer,
Where we are the stair rail spindles come shorter for some reason. I actually like that the stair spindles are shorter because I find it is easy to run the cap into the upper post, makes for a simple transition.
All the best with your future projects!
Notching rail posts are no longer allowed per the IRC.
Deck is less than 24” off ground, railings are decorative on this deck, not required. This was mentioned in the video. Also we noted to check your local building codes.
to much math eh!... ootside
