Hi, that is one of the pre-made houses form the screenshot in Willow Creek, the railing should be the same color as the rails on the foundation.

@FlyingPotato659 and these are the only railings you're having issues with or does it happen to others ?
EDIT: I can duplicate it for that railing but others I've tried looked fine so I've edited the title to make it about these specific ones. Let me know if there's others.
Good Luck

@crinrict Yeah,, I just tried to change it into a different design of railing - it doesn't cause any problems.
Just seems to be that particular design playing funny. I will just avoid using that railing for now!
Will let you know if any other railings do the same
Thanks!

Yes, sorry I'm not sure why it's uploaded like that as it's raw footage taken in-game. Here's screenshots.
