Deck handrails can get weathered and damaged faster than other deck components. This video from The Honest Carpenter will show you how to replace your deck handrails with new, treated lumber.

Tools:
Hammer
Large Screwdriver
Cat's Paw
Miter Saw
Router
3/8" Roundover Bit
Drill
Driver

Materials:
3" Exterior Screws
Treated 2x? Lumber (match existing)

HowTo:
1) Remove existing handrails by hitting from below with hammer to loosen nails. Pull nails, or back out screws.
2) Pull measurements for replacement pieces. It can be easier to replace one board at a time, so miters and positioning will be easier to match.
3) Cut replacement boards. If necessary, round over edges with a router.
4) Install replacement boards by predrilling holes into horizontal rail and support posts. Drive exteriorgrade screws through predrilled holes.
