| Oct 2, 2019 at 15:15 | comment | added | peinal | I looked further into your suggestion. Unfortunately, the vinyl blocks are ridiculously expensive--$19 each. So, I will instead use PT 2x4s to make the wedges. On the plus side, the reveal will not be an issue. | |

| Sep 30, 2019 at 17:08 | comment | added | peinal | The first suggestion won't work because the spindles would not be vertical. The other suggestions I like, but I don't think there is sufficient room for 1/4" reveal all the way around. I will see if I can find the blocks you suggest. The mounting is to 4x4 PT posts. Thanks. | |
