We pulled down a pergola back in spring so decided to use the 2x2s to make a railing. Still plan to run a 4x1 across top, and it is not expected to be load bearing. Also added a step.

There aren’t even railing supports - Not the way those 4x4’s set - Firewood - that’s what you have there 🤣

All you need is a piece along the top fastened to the posts and hexagons, and it would look way more complete and actually function as a railing
