Outdoors > Patios > How to Install a Porch or Deck Railing

Learn how to replace or install composite porch railing.

Cut the composite rails to length based on the measurements for your porch stairs. The chop saw works well for this straight cut.

Attach the provided plastic angle brackets to the cut ends of the stair rail section.

Set the railing and plastic angle bracket assemblies in place, lower them slightly until they engage the railing bracket bases.
