Suggestion: TIME SAVER. Maybe cut a 1x4 into a long jig, level the first spindle then use jig in between each spindle as you go. I’d start in the center and work towards the end of each section.
I like that method better than running them horizontally. I’m getting ready to build a small deck at our off road place and this is the method I, going to use. I’m sure if they were run horizontally someone would rest their foot on it. Thanks for the idea.
I build decks for a living...35 years now. I know what a “ bad ass looking “ deck is.....and this is not it. Looks cheap, and tacky, unprofessional,and unsafe for children and pets. It would not pass inspection in my area, it would be a waste of time and money, not to mention my customer would look at me like I’m crazy after seeing those on his 25k deck.
True but it's capped so we should get quite a few years out of it and then we'll refresh. All about the cost vs the others. Many will pay the 10x other ways.
@@TheGREENERSide I'm impressed. This made me decide to attach my old black aluminum balusters this way as I redid my deck & am selling my home. When the balusters were installed originally with holes drilled into the 2x4 rails they looked better but were a HUGE pain. Resealing or painting around them was tedious and time consuming. Rain water got into the bottom rail holes over time and noticeably degraded the wood. Great job and thank you for posting this video!

Very true!
That is a great idea to use conduit. It could be painted any color you like. You could add LED lights to the rail.
It's holding up really well!

Sounds great!
That’s bad ass looking, inexpensive and pretty straightforward to install. I’ll have to consider this. 👍
It's still early in the game but holding up nicely after two seasons!

Screws exposed. Did a cap cover this area? To hide?
No, no cap. Yes, screw heads left exposed.
Need my glasses
did the pipe it rust inside and drip down on the deck or did it stay dry?
Capped and stays dry.
Question: what kind of drill bit did you use?
A few cheap ones. Nothing fancy.
Go buckeyes 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Go Bucks!!
Will this meet the building code?
They are spaced correctly and I believe so for strength. I'd always ask locally.
What size pipe is that
1/2 inch conduit.
whats up with them posts?
Some are straight, some are crooked and most are messed up the the camera fish eye. 😁👍
Electrical Pipe going to rust

Indeed, looking craptastic for over two years now. 😁👍

@Sitori it's still going strong and looking just as good. Glad it worked for you!
