Learn how to replace or install composite porch railing.

Slip the provided black plastic form over the post and slide it down to the bottom over the flange.

Add the white composite post cover over the post and form.

Drop in a black plastic insert into the top of the rail post assembly.

Fit a black plastic form on top of the insert to make a snug fit between all these post components that will support the horizontal rails.

Slip a white composite trim ring over the top of the post and slide it to the bottom to rest on the porch floor. You will repeat the last five steps for each metal post.
