Picket Railings on a Cedar-Shingle New Build
Project Overview
Black picket railings installed on the front stone steps, porch and side landing of a new cedar-shingle home built over a stone base.
Analysis
The home was still in trim stage, so the rails were fabricated to the stone layout and installed before the final grade so the plates could be flashed correctly.
Process
Measure on site during construction, fabrication, install with the trim crew, and final alignment.
Outcome
Matched black railings on both exposures that suit the cedar shingle and stone facade.

Materials Used
Black powder-coated aluminum posts and rails with vertical picket infill, cast base plates, and anchors sealed into the stone treads.
