In reply to Regina. Regina, it has been a few years so I don't remember for sure, but I imagine I would have used 1.5" or 2" nails.

In reply to Katrinia. Katrinia, I would recommend handwashing just to be sure your polish lasts as long as possible.

After dipping/drying mugs for example are they dishwasher safe or do they need to be handwashed? This is very cool. I am going to try it for sure. Thank you.

How long were the nails that were used for nailing the ballusters to the lattice strip?

In reply to Wes. Wes, my railings are a little over 10 feet wide and I have had no issue with sagging in the several years since I installed them. For a 13' span, I think your instincts are good to add extra support. If you don't want to put a 4x4 in the middle you could consider just adding a little stubby "foot" under the bottom rail, in contact with the porch?

In reply to Kim. Kim, I would recommend adding the embroidery before sewing the sash so that the stitches on the back of the embroidery will be hidden, sandwiched inside between the two layers of fabric. (It also might help with centering the design if you can wait to cut the fabric afterwards!)

If embroidering should I do that before sewing it together or afterwards? I would think before sewing it closed.

I am about to try and copy your porch rail idea for my house? ?
I was wondering how long the distance was between your posts? Mine are about 13’? I was just trying to decide if I would need to split it up with a short 4x4?

I love this size! We are having a Toy Story Baby Boy Shower and these will be great to decorate with. I am going to laminate them so my granddaughter can use them in the nursery afterwards, if she wishes. Thank you so much for sharing! Love it !!
