Ornamental Scroll Railing on a Stacked-Stone Porch
Project Overview
Ornate ornamental railing installed around the porch and steps of a brick row home finished with a white stacked-stone base and scalloped metal awnings.
Analysis
The porch is small but sits high over the sidewalk, so the layout needed to close every opening while leaving enough clear width at the door.
Process
Measure, fabricate panels to the bay widths, finish, install, and adjust the returns at the steps.
Outcome
A detailed ornamental guard that suits the stone facade and makes the tall porch safe.
