New Front Porch Railing
 
I am going to remove my old wood railing that encloses my front porch
area.

I am going to install vinyl.

How can I install brass house numbers on the vinyl posts?

If I nail them on, could I split the vinyl? If I glue them on,
what type of glue should I use that will also allow me to remove the
house numbers at some stage when they deteriorate and need to be replaced?

Many thanks.

Kate

Pop rivets come to mind.

Those brass house numbers usually come with brass screws to attach them.
Use the screws. On plastic fencing, all attachments are made with screws.
