Ornamental Scroll Railing on Brick Steps
Project Overview
Ornamental railing with cast scroll panels installed down the brick steps of a yellow-sided home, with hydrangeas and string lights along the porch.
Analysis
The porch is used year-round, so the design pairs a decorative scroll panel with a rail height that clears the step nosing and reads from the sidewalk.
Process
Measure, fabrication, finishing, one-day install, and final detailing.
Outcome
A decorative entry railing that adds character to the brick steps and finished porch.

Materials Used
