    This is not an easy fix. As Odin has mentioned something will always be out of alignment. Whether it be the railing as it is now, the skirting around the bottom having a 90 deg step in, or one railing above the stairs and one on the side of the stairs.

    I agree with your picture, but the 4x4 at the top of the deck would also need to be moved. Which would mean more work around the decking.

    Sure you can and I agree the railing should be on top of the stairs, It would just take some time to do it. You have to move the 4x4s on the left railing which extends the railing on the deck which means you have to replace a few deck boards. Also I don’t know how the railing 4x4s are attached to the stringers in the deck, might be an issue there, might not. If he moves the 4x4s make sure they are still attached with a threw bolt and not just screwed into a 2x?

    Also you will have to figure out how you want to terminate your skirting around your stairs as the bottom 2x4 will be higher and on the inside of the skirting. I would probably cut the skirting off at the stair and run the tread of the stair over the skirting.

    Quoted from russdx:

    left post is correct, the right post needs moving over so the rail can be in the center like the left one so they are symmetrical!

    Could do that, but then you will have many issues with the railing on the deck on that side as well as the skirting alignment.

    The posts can’t be correct, you have the left set outside of the stairs and the right side on top of the stairs. It has to be one or the other. That is the root of the problem.

    Edit: I do see what you’re saying. The stairs could be wider so they go under the left set of handrails. Again not an easy fix though.
