DIY Railing Installation Guide
Send us your deck measurements and we’ll send a blueprint showing the sections in each run, glass sizes and rail lengths, then drop off all the materials and hardware. The guide covers side-mount brackets, posts and rails, a full tools list, and before-and-after photos. A typical deck takes about 3–5 hours.
