Crossbuck Rail Layout

An interior loft railing under construction: square wood posts with X-pattern crossbuck panels between them, spray-foam insulation still exposed on the ceiling above, a drill and cord left on the subfloor.

What happened

The call

Crossbuck panels between square posts, built up in place rather than dropped in as a stock unit.

Photographed mid-build — spray foam still exposed on the ceiling above, a drill and cord still on the subfloor.

Each X sits inside its own bay, spaced evenly along the run. That spacing gets marked out before a single piece is cut.
