Unsupported Exterior Stair Rail
I have a stairway rail supported only by the spindles. Image is attached. (Sorry the image uploaded in a challenging upside down way!)
I figure I need to get a 4 x 4 at each corner. Question is how do I effectively get these anchored into the asphalt driveway below? Will I need to brace them? How? Anything else? Thanks!

I think you will need to dig a post hole trough the asphalt at least for the lower pole. You might be able to attach the upper one to the retaining wall timber with steel brackets.

I have the same issue, my deck stairs doesn't seem to have the proper support. The posts were not installed properly (a hole dug and filled with cement). i would be interested in the response. I wonder if I should start a new post..
