I like the railing because it adds some weight to the porch. I think if you leave it without, you'd want to beef up the columns. And if you did that, maybe you could eliminate two you so you only have four. I'm not an engineer though, just talking about the looks. :)

westes Zone 9b California SF Bay
@iochroma I am in Zone 9b. This will go into the ground. I would prefer to not prune in the location where it is going as that is directly behind a stone bench. pH of our water is pretty close to neutral, around 6.8, and there is no water softener.

@JT7abcz: Beautiful idea, but OP said they can't afford to extend the new porch roof so was looking to do something smaller.

I would start by removing the random shudders, this will help start to make the door the feature. Extending the porch roof would be great but $$$
