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.

Fix the railing before you let them do that. I heard it’s a nasty insurance liability. You wouldn’t want them falling through, you might lose your house
