Deck and Stair Railing on an Elevated Deck
Project Overview
Black railing installed around an elevated deck and down its long stair run at a beige hardie-sided home with a stone retaining wall below.
Analysis
The stair run is long and lands on a patio beside a retaining wall, so the rail was fabricated in two sections with a continuous top rail from deck to grade.
Process
Measure the deck and stair, fabrication, install, and final alignment and sealing.
Outcome
One continuous guard from the elevated deck to the patio that makes the long stair safe.
