  • This vinyl railing is veranda from Home Dep. The less expensive stuff. It's really easy to work with and install. I would give this a 2 or 3 out of 10 as far as difficulty level. All u need is basic tools like a tape measure, back saw, level , screwdriver, and a half of a brain will get you by!

    Thanks for taking the time to post this video. I needed a 6ft and an 8ft section for my small porch deck and picked them up today along with the brackets, sleeves and post caps with solar lights built in.
    I wasn't sure about the tolerances but now thanks to you I can see that there's a little wiggle room when attaching the top and bottom brackets.
    Thanks again.

    I’m doing this right now. I know they are expensive but the veranda post install kit is awesome. Once you bolt down the post, they done move. You must put blocking under the deck boards so the 3/8” x 6” lag screws or bolts can grab them. The steel plate that goes under the blocking is about 1/4” steel.

    Wow thanks my husband and I have the exact same project. We laughed at your video because you are so down to earth. We have basically the same deck, the same walkway( we did ourselves) & same color house
    You made this so simple to follow thanks👍

    Great Job. And definitely a work of love. Lots of time was spent making it. It had the detail I needed to understand how it worked. Thanks much.

    Thank you J. Don't mind the haters. Were just regular homeowners and don't do this for a living. Looks great and glad your opinion was that it is a 3 out of 10 level. I'm taking the plunge and going for it! A little different in my case as I have 8 foot uprights holding up my porch roof but you taught me well enough. Good job!

    thanks for the video. i'm getting ready to do the same thing. I'm drilling into concrete, so i have a little different set up. BUT, i'm also dealing with 2022 prices. they are definitely a tad higher than you had in 2017. is what it is.

    John: First time viewing one of your videos; can say that it is the most thorough/relaxed and interest-keeping that I have witnessed; you give much confidence in doing the project {vinyl railing); just didn't get the store where available; want to take on the stair/step task and use /connect the pieces that I have to keep the same present style; hope I will get your answer somehow. Thanks.

    great video! lol prices have gone up over the last 4 years. I need a couple 7' sections, glad they sell them in 8. I don't need posts, my front porch has columns I can screw into. easy peasy.

  • @KelseyGustafson
    @KelseyGustafson Před 4 lety

    Thank you for putting this video together. You did a great job explaining as you went along. I am looking at the same stuff from HD, but the railings are not put together like yours are. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. I am sure it is cheaper and less damage for them to ship that way.

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před 4 lety +2

      I actually used one of those not put together ones. They come as a longer rail. Which I could of used in one of the spans because I was a little short with the pre put together ones. And they're also easier to trim when they're a part and a Then you just snap together and put the ends on , its really simple

    Thanks for a good instructional show, was there any heaving from the snow. I have the 4 x 4 and will head to Home Depot for the over-laying vertical vinyl square pipe.

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před rokem

      No heaving from snow. And those square tubes are what's recommended

  • @salcosta1156
    @salcosta1156 Před 3 lety

    Great video but how did you install the angle brackets on the railing? The package with the angle brackets do not come with instructions.

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před 3 lety

      Home depot had a stair kit that includes angles plus you can buy the angles for the railings

  • @artlembo2823
    @artlembo2823 Před rokem

    Really great video. Very clear. Just one question: until it gets attached, the fencing rocks side to side. Is there any issue with it not being square, or did you just measure the top, and then apply the same measurement for the bottom?

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před rokem

      Used a 90 degree level. But even so as decks are usually pitched for water there is plenty of slack for mistakes or un level things with those railings

  • @confirmhandle
    @confirmhandle Před rokem

    How to replace those white collars at bottom after they crack and break? Mine all broke after five winters from hitting them with snow shovels.

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před rokem

      Well my tops To the posts are not glued on so I would dis mantle one railing post at a time and slide 1 back down. Otherwise I might see if I could cut a new one in half and piece together and re glue

    Where did u get the mounting plates from thanks want to do this on a small deck off side of my house

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před 4 lety

      I got them from home depot but I think they were for big tall posts they just happen to be sitting around and a girl let me buy them separately

  • @saallday294
    @saallday294 Před 3 lety

    I can't seem to find those adjustable angled connectors on Home Depot site. I have to have those or I won't be able to do the job. Do you remember what they called them so that I can search? Also, love the video and it was very helpful. I am going to try to do it myself. I got an estimate from a professional that was over $10,000!!!

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před 3 lety

      Wow 10 large is ridiculous... so No I don't remember what they're actually called but they were pretty ready available at my home depot. Perhaps ask your home depot if a home depot that near you carries them. Otherwise maybe veranda sells them out right I don't know

  • @rb8939
    @rb8939 Před 6 lety

    i installed this last year, neglecting to put in the supports since my installation was different. Over the winter the bottom rails filled with water and since there is no drainage hole they warped. Replacing them now and will put a drainage hole or holes in them and will fashion some sort of support.

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před 6 lety +1

      wow good to know maybe I will drill little drain holes in bottom rail, however mine are on 2nd winter so far so good...thanks

    • @wendywu2199

      Still standing no issues except it needs to be power washed every year to get rid of I guess some kind of Green algae.

  • @semirm8248
    @semirm8248 Před 2 lety

    How sturdy are the rails?

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před 2 lety

      Sturdy enough for being plastic, but I wouldn't lean on them to be a life railing.

  • @VinnyTuberino
    @VinnyTuberino Před 2 lety

    Dangit! I bought the baseplates as adjustable (ie. in pieces). Yours look like a single piece! Back to Home Depot...

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před 2 lety

      Adjustable sounds better. Maybe that's what they sell now.

  • @yaudtube
    @yaudtube Před 5 lety +2

    You need a piece of blocking wood underneath the decking board.

    what a waste of rail and post without installing composite deck boards. I am doing my deck that is 40'x 12' with hidden fasteners. deck boards are almost all installed..can't wait until i install the first rail and top veranda posts are installed..

      Nah, there's advantages of having wood deck boards.

  • @stemikger
    @stemikger Před 6 lety

    It looks great but why didn't you replace the top boards with Veranda Armor guard?

    • @JLafix
      @JLafix  Před 6 lety +3

      stephen geraci I don't know what armorguard is but I needed to replace the rotted railings and that cost enough

    • @stemikger
      @stemikger Před 6 lety

      Oh I hear you on that end. Veranda Armorguard is a composite decking like Trex but half the price and it has a good reputation. I'm currently doing that on my deck in my backyard. It looks great but paying a contractor to do it is expensive.

    • @steveleaton9431
      @steveleaton9431 Před 4 lety +1

      Why replace the deck if it's in good condition? Nothing wrong with my deck so it stays. Railing is a little crappie so it's being replaced with home Depot veranda railing. Great job on your railing!
