Vinyl, Composite porch post installation for stair railing on concrete

[@wisedesi442]

Beautiful no nonsense instructions.

Thanks for the Video! I was going to use Tapcon anchors but I had read some reports of the heads snapping off. That's the last headache I need. Now I've switched to these wedge anchors after watching your video. I'll find another way to mess the project up, like cutting the composite railings short, but at least I'll have good anchors !!

Have this to do this weekend. Thanks so much.

[@likesowls52]

is there a link to explain what posts I need to buy to install these nice railing over?

[@franciscohuerta9860]

im doing good n tanks for the feed back.

[@cxl300]

The bracket for my top rail has a screw hole pattern that is outside the inner steel post. are the sleeve inserts strong enough if the bracket doesn't bolt into the middle steel post?

[@lpgft]

just what i need but where's the rail installation or is that easy

[@joleenbarker4315]

How far down did you drill for the 2 1/4 wedge anchors? Not sure if you are supposed to go slightly deeper than the anchor length.

[@Chrdiy]

Joleen Barker I always drill the actual length if it's 2 and 1/4 I'll drill 2 and 1/4 quarter but they'll be about a half inch to three quarter above grade after installing. And yes you're correct throwing a little bit deeper is always a good idea

[@joleenbarker4315]

Thank you for the quick response.

I need this for a very unstable and very heavy woman who needs it to get up my stairs. Will this hold over 300 lbs?

[@Chrdiy]

I would use inbedded solid iron rails core drilled and set in hydrolic cement. The surface mounted post will stress the concrete anchors over time with excessive pulling thus weakening the concrete anchor set bolts over time causing the anchors to become loose

[@Chrdiy]

rail are basic end fasteners and cut rails to length...real simple

[@RosamargaritaSoto]

how can i send you a picture of my steps. i have 2 sets. the ones from the street level to my the walkway of my house and the main steps into my house.

[@antg3626]

how much should everything cost if I have a tools available as far as the rails and screws you used. my grandpa feel going up the porch. want to see how much money I need to save to fix that for him

[@Chrdiy]

anthony Garcia average cost is 35.00 running foot

[@allenpersinger]

very good vid '' thanks very much,, great vid for me ''

[@RonSissons]

Do they make these for 6' posts on concrete? I need to move my vinyl fence and 2 posts will be on concrete, the rest will be in dirt.

[@Chrdiy]

Sorry for delay....I have not come across them

[@jazi6507]

Are there rails to do vynil fencing just like these? I'm trying to do fencing on concrete wall slab

[@eddiesel352]

Francisco Huerta how you doing 5/16 tapcon but also make sure that you buy the tapcon set pin which is the threaded nut on top and it will tell you to use a 5/16 tapcon bit
