you need to drop in all the way down the stairs and have a little bit of transition before your lip, it will be much better, also, use something else for the rail, not only is that gonna smash down/fall over, its like 6 feet long...take a full length of 2 inch pvc pipe, cut a slit down the length of it, and wedge it ont a 2x4, then build like 1 1/2 foot high legs and feet for it
