How to Build a Decorative Driveway Marker

Cut the bottom rails to length; note that one rail is ¾ inch shorter, to maintain even baluster spacing when it's butted into the first rail at the notch. Stand the center post and an end post on your work surface, and set two balusters on edge to establish the rail height. Then butt the longer rail into the notch at one end and flush with the end post at the other. Use two deck screws at each end to attach it to the posts, as shown.
