a rail, but to make it look not terribly horrid, I will have about 3 feet of
rail overall. I don't want to do the off-the-shelf pressure-treated crap, and
was wondering what you would use on your porch (get it? nudge nudge wink wink)

compliant with the code as grabbable and the design is compliant as structurally
sound to prevent fall. There is no practical way to go to all-wood due to
existing conditions)
