Step 7 · Install Railings
Install railing posts securely to the deck ledger board or directly to the stringers using appropriate hardware and connectors. Then, attach the top and bottom rails between the posts. Finally, install balusters vertically between the top and bottom rails, ensuring they are spaced according to local building codes (typically no more than 4 inches apart).
