- I took the half rotten wooden railing off of our back steps three years ago and am just now getting to replacing it…
The new ailing is made for both new and up-cycled steel, the center piece came from a 100+ year old fence section that I had left over from our balcony build. Using that piece both makes it match the balcony AND look as it has been a part of the house since the beginning - always my goal.
It was a simple build actually:
Mock up the angles and height
Layout on some cardboard
Cut all the pieces
Tack them together
Test fit
Re-work section that I mis-measured
Say dirty words
Use my forge for some detailed bending
Lots more welding
Grinding
Sanding
Clean with Acetone
Prime X2
Paint X3
Clear Coat X2
Install/level/brace
Install lag screws
Pour concrete
Drink beer waiting for concrete to cure
Touch up any nicks and dings
Railing complete

Looks good. Railing on my front porch is one of my goals.
Thank you. I have 1 more railing to do at the house - a 9' fence section and then a tie into the basement stair handrail. Hope to get it done this winter.
Looks better than the pro installations.
Thank you. I have been doing it for a very long time!
Looking forward to grand tour bro. Youre really getting good!
thank you!
I’ve done Composite railings for three years. Iron looks like a lot of work. Not sure how anyone would make a living doing it. My fab and install for a one side stair rail is 4 hours, including set up and break down of equipment
