Best Choice for Wooden Railing on Concrete Stairs?
At my mom's house, she used to have a wrought iron railing on her back porch/concrete stairs. However after it not being taken care of properly, the areas where it was connected to the stairs rusted and eventually it ended up breaking off of the porch. The bolts holding it in are still present but they're rusted beyond use. I'm not very handy, but I have a few friends that are. One told me to mount a few 4x4s attached to the side, my dad suggested just digging holes and concreting in some 4x4 posts into the ground, and I've also seen brackets mounting the 4x4 boards on top of the stairs kind of like how the original railing was mounted. With my parents both being in their late 60s/early 70s, ideally going to want something sturdy that will last. Any help or insight is appreciated! submitted by /u/South-Full [link] [comments]
