Stair Railing on Brick Entry Steps
Project Overview
Black railing with heavy square posts installed on the brick entry steps and landing of a white gable-sided home with black shutters.
Analysis
The steps rise steeply between the driveway and the door, so the rail was built with a strong post at the bottom and a continuous top rail up the full run.
Process
Measure, fabrication, powder coat, single-day install, and height check.
Outcome
A solid black handrail that makes the steep brick steps safe and matches the home’s shutters.
Project Details
Materials Used
