My dog just finished going through a "chewy" stage and several of the thin vertical support posts (for lack of a better term), got pretty chewed up. Several could just be sanded and refinished, but two of them actually have small chunks missing. It there a way for a homeowner without a lot of knowledge but with good basic tool skills to disassemble and replace of couple of the vertical posts? Can one buy replacement posts? The house is 5 years old, typical drywall type home in newer subdivision. I can see several little wooden caps on top of the railing that hide screws and assume one could remove these to start taking it apart, but I'm nervous there is something I'm overlooking, etc. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
