Project Overview
Black railing installed down the fieldstone steps and landing of a white clapboard home with a river-rock foundation and brown shutters.
Analysis
The fieldstone steps are irregular, so posts were laid out to the stone geometry rather than a fixed spacing to keep every base plate fully bearing.
Process
Measure, layout to the stone, fabrication, powder coat, install, and final seal.
Outcome
A stable black railing that follows the fieldstone exactly and makes the rustic steps safe.

Materials Used
