I hope you at least used a round hole for those square posts!
And the cones of silence don’t work they still scream as they go over the edge!
But of course, because I'm all about doing things right
Maybe a flip up bench. When down acts a small fence/railing. When up it's in the way of anyone tumbling through and the upper part is then the back rest.
If I were you, I'd make that bench the whole wall and tie it down to the deck. Otherwise you are gunna have to lag the railing into that new oyster shell stucco of yours.
Which begs the dumb question, why didn't you put a post in the back against the wall?

You wouldn't have a link to them would you?
I have now. That photo was prior to installing the post.
Thanks, it’s fussy work that took longer than I expected.
That picture reminds me of painting our bedroom in our new house. When I first glanced at your picture above I thought, why did you leave a bare spot on the railing closest to the house. Then I realized it was the sun reflecting. Now I can't see it as not painted anymore. Like one of those drawings that looks one way and then clicks and looks different.
We painted our bedroom a pale yellow before we actually moved in. To cover an awful looking green. After the first coat it was clear I needed a second coat as it had a definite green tinge. Which I did. When dry I looked at it and thought. What crap yellow is this? Still green showing through. Came back that evening to paint third coat and now it was light yellow like we expected.
Turns out the sun, reflecting off the green trees and bushes outside the window made the yellow look green. One coat would have been enough.

I've done it too. I think the human brain is hardwired to remember things we don't like. Things we like are not so easily remembered. That's why it will continue to look green for years to come.
It's the same with all the things I did wrong in my whole life. My bride cannot forget them no matter how many wonderful things I have done for her since.

Looks a bit like the place my wife sends me to sleep once in awhile.
