How do I add a banister to my front porch?
I have a very small cement front porch that I want to extend into an adjacent flower bed by about 18 inches and add a banister for the three steps down to ground level. I have NO IDEA where to begin.

Buy legs at home depot.
Yes they are table legs and come in many sizes. Then take a 2 x 4 or appropriate size attach to top. Spray paint. I do not know what bottom would be as is it earth, concrete or whatever.
I would quickset the posts into the ground adjacent to the steps. You would need to dig down a least 2' for the posts for support.
