Hello!
It's time to tackle our basement stairs in preparation for the upcoming recreation room project.
I'm attaching some pictures.
Step one will be to remove the existing railing and install a new panel around the stairway opening.
Step two is to install new spindles/posts. I'm attaching some pictures.
We thought these should go all the way up to the ceiling.
Maybe use planed pine 27x43.
A problem that arises then is that it might not be easy to screw into them as they may crack.
But it should work fine to install them with plugs and mounting glue, right?
We initially thought we would install the new railing from the floor to the ceiling. But now it will probably start a bit down from the panel to the ceiling instead. Similar to what is currently there.
Grateful for any tips if someone has done a similar project.
