Plaza Stone Step Guardrails
Project Overview
Black vertical-bar guardrails installed on the stone-faced steps and raised planter walk at a commercial plaza with a service yard behind.
Analysis
The steps are wide and shallow with an open side toward the lot, so the guard was built to close that edge while letting carts and deliveries pass.
Process
Measure, shop fabrication, coating, single-day install, and cleanup.
Outcome
A clean guard set that makes the wide entry steps safe without visual clutter.

Materials Used
Steel posts and rails with vertical bar infill, satin black coating, welded base plates, and anchors into the stone treads and slab.
