The stair fascia and rail really give this deck both a beautifully finished look and an extra notch of safety. Due to the weird construction of our old deck, there wasn’t a stair rail — just the back of the bench to grab if necessary.
This is all the finishing touches!
Small leftover railing pieces to connect the end of the deck railing with the top of the stair rail (you might notice this is one of the plain caps on the stair stair top pillar, but we replaced that with a solar light)
Back stair treads and front fascia
Stair kickboard fascia
Stair handrail
You can see we still had two pillars to sleeve at this point (and the lattice to add), but he’s covered the front beam and the side of the stairs.
Here’s our final BEFORE and AFTER!
