Ornamental Scroll Railings on Brick Entry Steps
Project Overview
Matching ornamental scroll railings installed on the porch and brick entry steps of a tan-sided home, finished with dark bluestone treads and seasonal decorations.
Analysis
The entry is raised on a brick base with a hard drop to the walk, so the rails needed to close the porch and follow the steps in one consistent design.
Process
Measure, fabrication, finishing, one-day installation, then final detailing around the door.
Outcome
A matched ornamental set that dresses up the entry and makes the raised porch safe.

Materials Used
Steel posts, rails and cast scroll panels with decorative balusters, satin black finish, base plates anchored into the brick and bluestone.
