Picket Railing on Concrete Entry Steps
Project Overview
Black picket railing with capped posts installed on the concrete entry steps and landing of a beige vinyl-sided home with window boxes and hydrangeas.
Analysis
The entry has a wide landing and short step run, so the rail was built with capped posts at the corners and a pitch that matches the concrete nosing.
Process
Measure, fabrication, powder coat, one-day install, height verification.
Outcome
A tidy, code-compliant rail set that finishes the concrete entry and suits the home’s trim.

Materials Used
