Picket Railing on Stone Entry Steps
Project Overview
Black picket railing with heavy posts installed on the stone entry steps and landing of a white brick home with a red door and black shutters.
Analysis
The entry steps are set between two stone cheek walls, so the rail was laid out to the cheek geometry with posts anchored into the stone treads.
Process
Measure, fabrication, powder coat, one-day install, and height verification.
Outcome
A strong black rail set that suits the red door and white brick and makes the entry safe.
