BEST Hand Rails You Can Build at a Fraction of the Cost
When I went to Lowe’s and Home Depot to look at handrails, I was so disappointed! So I look for other options. Not only did I find another option that I like it was much stronger and much lower cost. I was also able to custom build it to fit my needs. The solution was not so obvious. Find the wood in the garden section not the wood section. And I certainly could not find in the hand rail section. Sometimes it pays to think outside the box. Hope you enjoy the Instructable!! :)
Buying the Materials
If you want to put railings on your decking don't buy pre-made railings from Lows or Home-Depot they are way to expensive! Buy landscaping timbers that are WAYYY across the store in the gardening section they work great for the railing and there cheap!
Building
To build this we will use 6in screws. To put the screws in we will use a impact hammer that was $40 at Harbor Freight and work great at getting these screws in.
Finished!! :)
As you can see its to hard to build a really good looking railing for cheap!! :) Hope you enjoyed!! :)
