How to add handrail to garden stairs?

[stuartheth]

Outdoor garden home made stairs exisiting, need to put in a hand rail. Ground to hard to dig and concrete. Stairs run down a slope, so no danger of falling off them to a drop. Just for steadying. Can i bolt on wood to the exisiting stairs? Side panel of stairs is 50mmx240mmx4000mm treated pine.

Looking for the recommendations for timber for hand rail and if should be sturdy enough.

Thanks,

Sorry... I don't have photos they were private people.

I will come back with a sketched drawing.

Update - holes aren’t too hard to dig. I’m going with three of these suckers then copying this hand rail made of 90mmx40mm.  3 posts across 5m may not be enough, but that’s about all I can dig.
