If you want to increase the strength at the stanchion base, sleeve the lower part of the stanchion with larger diameter stainless steel tube. The sleeved tube could go part way up the stanchion or almost all the way to the top rail. The second and larger diameter weld at the base of each gate stanchion will provide the additional strength for your higher railing.
