No reason at all. Instead of using the masonry drill and a bolt and shield you would substitute a lag screw in its place. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Stansifer To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 10:07 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] 'replacement railings for a 3 hole pre cast stair setup
Victor, In your opinion is there any reason why these railing systems couldn't be adapted to a traditional wooden porch? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Victor Gouveia Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 7:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] 'replacement railings for a 3 hole pre cast stair setup Hi Lee, You can get a variation on a theme, so to speak, from Lowes or Home Depot. They are basically strong aluminum railings that fasten onto existing concrete steps by the use of concrete screws. I installed a set on my front steps and they are every bit as sturdy as the rot iron ones. They're also easy to assemble, as they only use screws to assemble. You can order them to the length you want, taking into consideration the length of the rise, any landings you want to encircle, and any corner joints you wish to add to it. They're very cheap in cost, and, as I said, very easy to install, assuming you've got a good hammer drill. Smile.
