Front Porch Railing

I’m thinking about replacing my front porch railing and I’m getting a materials list together. I’m anchoring into the existing concrete patio. I’m planning on going with white vinyl and am trying to figure out what I need as far as posts. I keep seeing these somewhat expensive posts kits: 4-in x 4-in x 3-ft Black Steel Deck Post https://www.lowes.com/pd/Deckorators-DCK-Post-Mount/1001039918 Is it possible to use a plain 4x4 instead of these kits? Is there any advantage to the post mount kit? submitted by /u/emcc019 [link] [comments]
