Looks great! Gonna be installing a railing on my mother's stairway at her cottage in a few weeks and think i'll go with this style!

Check the local codes on the town website to see what they are looking for for supports and space under the spindles. Up here you have to have a maximum of 4" from the stair to bottom of the spindle. Hope this helps you out.

@@moviemia1893 because every part of the deck has to be built in compliance with local building codes. The dangerous way they used the tools is also not a good idea such as cutting the top of a post at an angle with a reciprocating saw while smoking a cigarette and your helper is on the other side holding it with your blade ultimately expected to cut through the wood directly in the path of your helpers face....he almost got his face cut.

Not criticizing you guys working, but that rail will not pass code at least here on the west coast...all stairs must be anchored to concrete at the bottom, the 2x6 top cap must be changed to allow a person to grab a hold in case of falling...the ballasts, will only stay in position for about two years only using one nail. That deck will only last about 5 years until it needs quite a bit of repair work....I'm a deck builder I guarantee our decks to last 75 years.

Oh my God so true about the insurance guy peeking over the fence. I was rebuilding our front porch without a work permit of course I was just replacing all the rod it would and I hadn't gotten to the railing yet and we got a letter from the insurance company say they were canceling our homeowners insurance cuz we didn't have railings on the front deck I had to call and tell them they'll be up this week I swear they use drones and fly around every customer's house cuz I didn't have railings for 2 days 2 days that's it freaking insurance people!!

A top hand rail must be small enough so an average hand can grab, and hold onto. This flat, wide top hand rail looks nice, but would fail a Buildings Dept insp. Key is to keep D of B out of your backyard. Good job anyway!!

Mr. Beecher is absolutely correct. The "graspability" of the handrail is a critical issue which is totally overlooked in this otherwise handsome design.

Suggestion. When using treated wood, retreat any cuts with wood preservative. This prevents rot at the cut points…

@HomeOwnerRepair

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the added tip

Great techniques and very helpful. But for you younger folks, use ear and eye protection. Mistakes on a build are easy to overcome; not so much a damaged ear or eye. Also, for something as important as a railing (esp for older folks who really lean on those things), use screws vs nails (esp from a nail gun). They'll hold way longer.

To anyone watching: Dont EVER support the opposite side of anything that is having a screw or drill bit ripping through it while wearing sandles with your foot pressed firmly against the side the sharp point is traveling. It would be horrible to have your toe screwed into the wood. I can't believe they would not edit that out or at least put a disclaimer saying that the method used to support the post while being screwed was extremely careless and bad practice that should never ever be copied. (And just so I don't look like an idiot: I didn't read the description or other comments so I dont know if this video was intended as a spoof or parody of someone doing a job haphazard or if it was made with the intention of pissing OSHA off. If so just ignore my comment....actually don't ignore it because either way it is smart to keep your body out of the path of sharp objects traveling at high RPMs
