I have been asked to bid a deck that is going to have round aluminum colunms with railings running between them. I have installed these types of columns before and know the material is fairly beefy. But still not sure about just a couple of sheet metal screws/self tapping galvinized or some thing like that being enough to feel good about the railings being secured. I looked at a couple of column websites and it seems as if the either dont want to have you install a railing to them or they just let you decide how to do it. So far have not found out a good idea to secure them.
The columns I am talking about a structural columns so there is not post in the middle of them to run a screw into. Suppose I could install some sort of blocking on the inside of the column.
