Hi
I have an indoor staircase that lacks a railing on the side of the lower half. The railing is now going to be built. Attached are pictures of my plan where the green represents the stairs, walls, and other existing elements, while the white represents the railing I will build.
The posts are 45x45
The end post is 75x75
The bottom rail is 21x45
The top rail is 15x45
The railing is 21x95
My idea is to mount the posts on the bottom and top rail, and then set the piece in place. It is secured downward and to the side at the top of the stairs. After that, the end post is put in place, secured in the green area at the bottom. Finally, the railing is put in place by screwing it in from underneath through the top rail. Wood glue is also used everywhere.
Do you have any thoughts? Am I way off? Will the railing hold?
