Q:Should I be using 36" or 42" post for a 36" railing?
by|Aug 29, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  The 36" posts should go with the 36" railing. The post top actually goes to 39" so makes a nice low profile. The 42" should be used on the 36" stair rails.

    Q:What size screws to bolt posts to deck.

    Answer This Question

    A:  Ted--I am assuming that this is a wooden/TimberTech deck. On a residential deck you need to use 5/16" x 6" Exterior Torx/Star Drive Construction screws. If this is commercial use 3/8" x 6" Exterior Torx/Star Drive Construction screws
