   Begin by measuring the length of the existing top railing of your deck stairs where the new handrail will be installed. The video demonstrates measuring approximately 90 inches along the top edge of the existing railing. Once the length is determined, use a miter saw to make a clean, square cut on one end of the round wooden handrail. Then, measure the full required length (e.g., 90 inches) from that cut end, mark it with a pencil, and make the final cut to size with the miter saw. Ensure both ends are cut cleanly.
