Any suggestions for attaching the ends of a 5 foot railing to keep
people from falling out of a loft?

I am planning a railing made of oak.

Thanks.

Screws. It would help though, if you told us what the type of
construction is and what you are attaching the ends to..



The opening is about 9-10 wide with a floor to ceiling center post in the
middle. Each opening is then about 5' wide.

There will be two railings.

Each railing will have one end affixed to the enter post which is 6x6 and
the other end to the end of a wall which is of 2x6 construction.
