How to Install a Rustic Porch Railing

My lender required me to add a railing to a porch on one of our house-flipping projects in Gunnison Colorado back in 2016

I used a log that I found out back that looked like nothing more than a piece of local driftwood that the previous homeowner found down at the local quarry.

First, I used a 4" hole saw to drill into the main post on the porch in order to attach the piece of driftwood as a railing.

Next, I cut the end of the piece of driftwood and made it so that it fit cleanly into the hole and then secured it with some 4" deck screws.

Now stand back and marvel at your new railing and post it on social media to impress your friends and relatives.
