    Hey guys, does anyone have a hook up at one of the local railing stores? Need a small railing for my front step and dont want to pay ~900 for it.

    The kit stuff Home Depot sells is pretty good and it won't be $900.

    What colour are you looking for and how many stairs? I have a white aluminum railing that I am going to replace with a black one.

    LoL! This brings back horrendous memories of when I tried to do almost precisely this job. You have to hammer drill very very close to the edges and the noses of those stairs and there's a very good chance you're going to fuck that up.
    I sure did. I remember that day, real well.

    I chipped the nose off my fucking stamped concrete step and I completely snapped. It was a very bad day for many other reasons but that pushed me far over the edge.

    Please consider hiring a pro.

    Definitely use epoxy anchors to prevent stress cracks.

    We could barely get legit companies to come quote our deck railings… there were no hookups lol.

    We used McLean Contracting and they were great. Super quick to measure/install and did a great job.

    I do have some pieces that might work for you.

    The two straight pieces are 47” long. And the stair piece is good for 3-4 stair treads

    They are in good shape. Just dirty.

    The Home Rail stuff is definitely DIY ready.

    The posts are standard height...The rails and pickets are cut as required to fit.

    I used a new blade on a mitre saw and the aluminum cut like butter.

    However the issues with mounting will still be an issue.

    I installed mine into a wooden deck.
